I read somewhere one of the vets organizations was collecting up war souvenirs like that to return to the families in Japan as some sort of bury the hatchet program.

Found this today in a small box, found the flag under it. I think the one word is Japanese . I know her father and his 2 brothers fought in WW2. She said one was captured in the Philippines and did the death march and a prisoner all war, but this doesn't appear to be him cuz said captured in late 44.
