by Dr. Michael
A. Bortner
This is the first book of its
kind that focuses solely on Good Luck Flags and
One-Thousand Stitch Belts and answers many of the questions
that both novice and experienced collectors have had with
regard to yosegaki hinomaru and senninbari. Through an
extensive use of color photographs, the book provides
illustrations of common artifacts as well as some of the
rarest. Many of the examples provided have been identified
to their soldier-owners and come with fascinating and often
poignant stories. Vintage photographs, postcards,
advertisements and first hand accounts bring both subjects
into full detail.
