Definitely Ebay

This.
If someone famous owned that flag then it could be worth thousands of dollars, if not then it's probably still worth a couple hundred.

Not sure if the embassy would even offer than kind of service but if they do that'd be really nice of you. It'd be interesting for the family to suddenly receive something like that.

You inherited it, then you're just gonna give it away? I don't know about that one, seems ignorant to your great grandfather to me.

I smirked at the 尽忠报国

its a war trophy you keep that shit your grandfather killed the shit out of some one to get it to you or it might have even been given to him after the war or by a pow point is its now in your family and its up to you to maintain and keep.

>It'd be interesting for the family to suddenly receive something like that.

And then he sees it on Ebay a month later from the very same family that the embassy gave it too. How would you feel then OP.

Have the flag translated, if it's owner was some sort of war hero or whatever sell it, if not then you could give it back to the Japanese.

Keep it and know you will never be as awesome as your great grandfather.

poop on it

Heads up: Not a scrap of かな in there.

I have 2 flags like that OP, My grandfather took it off 2 prisoners, he was ordered to "take these two back to base and be back in 5 minutes" the base was tens of miles away.

>>3624583
Fascinating.

Would look pretty awesome on a wall, you're a disgrace to your grandfather, OP.

try to give it to the soldier family, maybe they have a daughter that will thank you if you see what I mean.

"Oh Gaijin-San your grandfather bested my grandfather in combat, you are a worthy husband"

>>3624583
Meh, back in those day, they were used to walking 50 miles to school and back, barefoot, in 4 inches of snow.
Going 10s of miles away and back probably wasn't that hard in comparison.

>>3624636

You seem to have missed the implication, he wasn't meant to go to the base at all, he was meant to shoot the two japs behind a hill or something.

>>3624607
>>3624634

Is the writing on it even Japanese?

>>3624696
Looks Chinese to me.

If it's full of names, it's not unusual to be entirely in kanji without any kana whatsoever, especially given the historical period. Contemporary Japanese uses much more kana.

>>3624736
What >>3624853 said. Japan massively reformed its written language after WWII.

up: 盡忠報国=I make loyalty for a monarch and work for a nation.

right: The name of the owner

outskirts: An all name Sender

>>3624541
You fucking idiot, that's almost worse than being an war apologizer.

You're fucking asshole, OP.
Honor your grandfather.

>>3624541
That circle is not very round.

I think he would have wanted it returned, All the shit he did in the pacific haunted him, he had many similar stories to >>3624583

He also never decorated anything with the Japanese stuff he took home, It was just in a box this whole time.

In war, there are no winners.

>>3625135

War.. has changed.

>>3625135
except the winners

>>3625135
Except for the economic growth of national powers and the extremely wealthy who start the wars.

>>3625135
Except for thes who win, obviously.

>>3625135

There sure are losers though.

>>3625154
>>3625158
Winmind.

>>3624999
Refrain from making shit up if you don't know what it means.

It could have been drawn with the owner's blood. Some kamikaze pilots would do that and give the flag to their families before their final sortie.
