Original Japanese WWII Hand Painted Cloth Good Luck Flag - 27" x 37" German SS as is the rear elasticOriginal Item: One of a kind. Just purchased from a large military auction. This hand painted cloth flag is marked with battle quotes such as "Banzai", and "Good Luck". As with many good luck flags, the flag is marked on the top with the Japanese phrase , which reads Bu un Chou kyu ("May your military fortunes be long lasting."). To the left of these is the character , which means "Prayer", so this particular flag is praying for good luck in battle.
