Japanese (Shussei nobori) "Send-off Banners"
Sub-collection: JapanJapanese (Shussei nobori) "Send-off Banners" - Imperial Japan's martial culture traditionally made a ceremonial event of the departure of a young man for military or naval service. Often community organizations organized a farewell celebration which culminated in a send-off parade. Parade participants escorting the soldier or sailor to the railway station or port, displayed large banners inscribed with the new recruits names, such as this example.
