Sorry, it's a store company flag.


渡邊實株式会社
Watanabe Minoru Kabushikigaisha
Watanabe Minoru Co., LTD

Watanabe is a surname; Minoru is a given name

<商>
Shō
Store/mercantile/trade


長崎支店
Nagasaki Sh!ten
Nagasaki Branch Store


Today "Watanabe Minoru" would be simplified to:
渡辺実

Before the atomic bomb was dropped? Yes, I would think so .... but "before"???? That could be one day or 20 years. And I doubt it was flying when the air-burst hit. (^__^)
