Yosegaki Hinomaru Flag (“Good Luck Flag”) (Named)
€325,00Original Yosegaki Hinomaru flag (“Good Luck Flag”) containing a lot of names and slogans. The flag comes fully translated to the buyer (except for the names of the family and friends). The original recipient is First Lieutenant Shinbo. Some of the messages include: “Be ferocious and brave“, “Endure the pain patiently“, “Represent your proud nation” etc.
The hinomaru yosegaki was traditionally presented to a man prior to his induction into the Japanese armed forces or before his deployment. The relatives, neighbors, friends, and co-workers of the person receiving the flag would write their names, good luck messages, exhortations, or other personal messages onto the flag in a formation resembling rays dissipating from the sun, though text was also written on any available space if the flag became crowded with messages.
For the military man stationed far away from home and loved ones, the hinomaru offered communal hopes and prayers to the owner every time the flag was unfolded. It was believed that the flag, with its many signatures and slogans, would provide a combined force or power to see its owner through tough times, as well as reminding the soldier of his duties in the war, with the implication that the performance of that duty meant that the warrior was not expected to return home from battle. Often, departing servicemen would leave behind clipped fingernails and hair, so that his relatives would have something of him in which to hold a funeral.

Ritterkreuz: “Obergefreiter Dirkmorfeld was awarded the Knight’s Cross on the 12.03.1943 for his battlefield achievements in the area of the Pionier-Bataillon 208. Through his brave devotion to duty (up until being wounded on the 24.02.1943) he had a decisive share in the defensive success of his Bataillon commander’s Kampfgruppe. As the leader of the Kompanie HQ squad he was the one who secured the bypassed, unprotected left flank of the Kompanie for days during the heavy close combat with overwhelming enemy tank and infantry forces. After the falling out of all officers and NCOs he personally directed individual scattered squads of different combat formations to the most dangerous enemy penetrations, and he maintained the resistance of his handful of men even after being overrun by enemy tanks. After being heavily wounded he arranged for the immediate transfer of his battlefield plan before being treated himself, and in doing so laid the groundwork for a successful counterthrust with our own Panzers. He was evacuated from the battle area by means of a Panzer.”

Japanese Victory Medal (Cased)
€0,01The Victory Medal was a commemorative military medal of Japan awarded to mark service during the First World War. Established by Imperial Edict #406 on 17 September 1920, it was one of the series of Victory Medals created and awarded by the victorious allies after the First World War. Fifteen nations in all issued a version of the medal. All shared the rainbow suspension and service ribbon, but the medals’ designs varied by country. Japan’s design was different from all other versions as it did not depict the goddess Victory. This figure from Roman mythology would have no connection to Japanese culture, so a depiction of Takemikazuchi, the war god in Japanese mythology occupies the obverse of the medal.
