Help with a Japanese national flag

[Paul G]

This reportedly came off of a Navy vessel. Its larger than a regular Hinomaru Yoseigaki, at 54 inches across. Can anyone tell what the writing says? It looks pretty simple in form / style. That leads me to doubt that it was written by a Japanese hand. What do you guys think? Does the writing make sense? I don't own it, just saw it and it made me curious. I looked in the translation section and saw a few characters, but to me, its still a jumble.
Thanks,

The line after 1944:

仁人 天皇
Shin-shin Tenou
[Man of virtue, Emperor] Shin sounds like "sheen", so "sheen-sheen"

芳賀 美佳子
Haga Miyoko
family name, girl's name [Beautiful-Good-child]
======
The top of the flag has katakana, indicative of foreign names or loan-words. The only line I can read is the second name:

リチャード バーンドウ 先生
Richyaado Bandou 先生 [sensei]
Richard Bond, Teacher
[perhaps "Bondo" or "Bando" ... or "Bandeaux" ... "Bond" would be バーンド, without the extended "o" sound: ウ]

The stroke order and balance of the characters are similar to either a Japanese with not so beautiful penmanship, or a foreigner with good knowledge of stroke order and balance ... and practice. I would guess it's a foreigner, as Japanese would normally use the Era dates [Showa, Heisei] instead of Western numbers. But there are Japanese who do prefer the Western-style numbers.

1944 would be Showa 19: 昭和十九年 [Showa jyu-kyu nen]
1990 would be Heisei 2: 平成二年 [Heisei ni nen]

Anyway, looks like an old flag that was for some reason written up with a dedication to (or from?) Miyoko Haga. Not WWII related ... unless they found an old WWII-era flag to write upon.
