Lot 894
Japanese Banner of Congratulations For Joining the Army. Gray and off-white silk with orange fringe and tassels, and red and white Japanese flags, 50 x 16". Black Japanese characters say at top: "Congratulations for joining the Army." Down the left side is: "7th Squadron. Kyoto Shoseki Kabushikigaisha [Kyoto Books Ltd.]." In the middle is "Mr. Furukawa Hideo" and down the right side is: "The Reserves of the 9th Infantry Regiment." This was probably given to a son or employee or friend of the owner of the book shop. There are a few small tears in the gray silk and a few faint stains on the off-white background, but still a very attractive banner.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
