Picked this IJN rayed flag up this week from the vet's daughter. She told me that he had served on a cargo ship that carried equipment and ammunition in support of the Battle of Guadalcanal in 1943, and was involved in direct action with the enemy. His ship also participated in the occupation of Wakayama and Nagoya, and later evacuated military and civilians from Shanghai and Tsingtao in China.
It measures about 52 by 32.5 inches. It shows wear and age, but still has a vivid red color. It has a sleeve for the rope, something I have not seen before.
