silk, with multiple Japanese signatures, 36 x 27 in.; framed, 42-1/4 x 33 in. Note: "Good Luck" flags were traditionally signed by family members to offer protection and good fortune for a soldier entering combat. Many were captured or taken from the bodies of slain soldiers as souvenirs during World War II. There has recently been some effort, by the Obon Society and others, to reunite these flags with the appropriate Japanese families.
excellent condition overall, vibrant color, not removed for examination
