I guess Japanese know their flags. It must be a good one.

Wow! Everything but the kitchen sink & a tiger! I don't know but if something is too good to be true......guess they know what they're buying.

Good chance to be legit.

Signatures looks to have been made around the drawings, not the contrary. I think there is everything on the flag to track down the original owner. It doesn't seems to be much variations in kanji writing. Looks like a diary flag more than a Yosegaki.

Mixed feeling but who knows. Would love to read some opinions / translations !

It gives me pause for concern. It does seem to have everything! I would be curious to see what our native speakers think. Looks like its all been done by one person, or maybe a few, but mot many. Curious to know.

Interesting flag. I doubt it's an authentic period yosegaki. Can't tell you why, just a hunch really. Not one I'd want in my collection even if it is legitimate. Looks cluttered. Not pleasing or balanced to my eye. Lacks that dynamic look I like. In this case more is less.

Regards,

Yes, interesting and rather strange. See some unit info in there that probably should not be there if a wartime flag. Looks like someone put a ton of work into it regardless.
