Hello everyone, I pick this flag up awhile back and haven't had time lately to see if anyone is familiar with it. I have seen similar ones out there but not exactly sure what they are. Any help will be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance

The youth group flag is shown backwards.


Center:
青
Sei
Blue-green [meaning "youth"]



Right margin:
兼城村
Kanegusukuson
A village in Okinawa


字座波青年団
*Zaha Seinan-Dan
*Zaha Youth Group

Not 100% of how that first kanji is pronounced in this instance ... not always "ko".

Interesting, I was told it was a regimental flag. What were these youth groups ?
