This example features the iconic red sun disc centered on a white field and remains mounted to its original bamboo staff, a desirable feature that distinguishes it from later reproductions or replacement-mounted examples.

Historical Background

During World War II, small paper Japanese flags were widely distributed for public ceremonies, military departures, school events, patriotic rallies, and victory celebrations. Because they were intended as inexpensive disposable items, relatively few have survived complete with their original bamboo poles. Authentic examples remain popular among collectors of Pacific War and WWII historical memorabilia.

Condition

Good original condition with expected age-related wear, creasing, edge wear, and toning consistent with wartime paper. The flag remains attached to its original bamboo pole. Please examine all photographs carefully for the exact condition, as they form part of the description.

Conditions will vary as I have 2 of them, both are in similar condition.
