Japanese relic from the Lorient U-boat bunker

[gingerbread]

Hi

I just find in Lorient U-boat base (The scorff bunker), the following paper relic!!!



Can you help me to have more information about this relic? Translation?

During WW2, only two japanese submarines came in Lorient, the I30 in august 1942 and the I29 in March and April 1944.

Look at the post #4 for pictures from a badge from the same place.

Regards
Ben from Lorient

FYI ... 三矢 -- Mitsuya -- means Three Arrows; ergo, the kamon/logo

Ben, glad to help when I can find something. Those photos of the sub pen entrances are great! It looks so ..... 1930s.

Sort of reminds me of the lighter-than-air airship hangers #2 and #3 that we have here on Moffett Field:

Hangar 1 (1932) on the far left housed the USS Macon, a Hindenburg-class dirigible; Hangars 2 & 3 (ca. 1942) on the right housed blimps:
