Good morning guys,
Just after a little help on one of my newest yosegaki hinomaru. This one came in a group of 3 flags and a techo all to the same transport soldier. If people are interested I can post the others.
This flag is one of the most interesting of the lot. It’s been signed on both sides. I do not know how common this action was, but has proved to be a little difficult in transcribing it.
I have separated it into Front and Back, so as to not confuse myself.
This is what I have so far:
Back: (ties to the left)
祝出征 = Congratulations on your enlistment
盡忠報國 = Serving the Nation with utmost loyalty.
忠勇 = Loyalty and Bravery (in sun)
忠義= Loyalty (Left bottom corner)
Front: (ties to the right)
忠君愛國 = Loyalty to the Sovereign & Patriotism (sun)
I believe I can also see the character for sincerity inside the sun disk . 誠
Any help on the longer lines of kanji would be greatly appreciated. I think I can see what looks like some kind of an association running down the left hand side of the back side of the flag. Any ideas?
If close ups are needed please don't hesitate to ask.
Many thanks in advance guys.
Matt.
