Hinomaru Signed Flag...

[leaftree]

These don't pop up in my area to often, and the seller is listing it for more than I think it's worth.
Anyone see anything out of the ordinary on it?
I can see (I think) '7 lives for the nation' and 'Dying for ones country'
Apologies if I've posted upside down or wrong way. I still have trouble sometimes.

Thank you,

[leaftree]

That appears to be a nice, "been there" flag. Thanks for posting...

I agree, a nice used flag. These seem to command a little higher price when they have that "been there" look to them.

Here's a note from his little sister:

ヒデヲ兄サンガンバレ
陽子
Hideo Ni-san Ganbare
Yōko

Big Brother Hideo: Do Your Best! [signed by his sister Yōko].


Ganbare [ganbatte!] means: hold on; go for it; keep at it; do your best ... I originally wrote "hang tough" ... but maybe that was over-doing it a bit.
This sentiment is written mostly in katakana, indicating a child; however, the kana are well-formed and seem very adult -- possibly a parent wrote it for her. Her name 陽子 can be pronounced at least 8 different ways, depending on the sound her parents wanted; I chose Yōko because that's what I found more common while doing a google search. The two most common were Yōko and Yōshi

Yōko
Yōshi
Akiko
Akirako
Kiyoko
Takako
Nagako
Haruko
