It's the right way up. May be navy related, I see Kai-gun (navy) 2 kanji I don't have time to attempt and Hon-bu (headquarters), lower pic # 2 post in large writing right side. It will take a real mensch with mad skills to expand further.
Nice flag, thanks for posting!

Sheesh, can't a "Guy" get a break here?????Originally posted by Lampwick View Post"It will take a real mensch with mad skills to expand further."
C'mon Guy,
Nice flag! Atypically, the dedication is on the left margin; the office presenting the flag is on the right margin, and our favored "Wishes for Continued Luck in the Fortunes of War is (typically) at the top.
祈武運長久
Ki Bu'un Chōkyū
Wishes for Continued Luck in the Fortunes of War
海軍艦政本部
Kaigun Kansei Honbu
Navy Technical Department
努会
Tsutomu-kai
Effort/Dilligence Association
[I'm uncertain about this translation as I cannot find anything on a google search. Tsutome means hard work/dilligence, and kai is association .... This is just a guess on my part.]
祝出征
Shuku Shussei
Congratulations on being drafted!
Okay, a bit tongue-in-cheek; but not by much.

Well, maybe they don't say it quite like that ... more like "muchas gracias"; or in your neck of the woods .... Cymru:
Diolch yn fawr iawn!
