Any help identifying this flag for me would be appreciated. The flag is 20"
by 28" long. The flag was purchased in Japan in the mid-1950s.

The flag says: dai nippon kokubou fujinkai (line closest to fly),
which means "Great Japan National defense Sisterhood." The second line is:
Hiroshimashi Irifune bunkai, which means "Hiroshima Irifune Branch." The
characters are the type of character (kanji) used up until the 1950s Educational
reforms began use of simplified characters.

With this information I now believe the flag was for the women shipyard
workers at the huge shipyards near Hiroshima in World War II.
