This is an interesting Japanese tank crew good luck flag captured on Okinawa by a U.S. Marine, June 1945.
The writing is 神武 必勝 梓隊 shinbu (god-given bravery) hisshō (must win) Azusa tai (Azusa tank unit).
The smaller four characters mean: "long live, bravery luck."
The tanks appears to be a stylized Type 89 I-Go (Yi-Go).
The flag is 70cm X 94cm
