WWII flags

Obon Society co-founder Rex Ziak explains during a luncheon in Santa Barbara, California, (on May 14, 2018) how the organization's scholars analyze Yosegaki Hinomaru -- WWII-era "good luck flags" collected by Allied Forces from Japanese soldiers who died in battle - to determine the flag's origins. The nonprofit organization is searching for surviving families of original owners of around 900 such flags and has returned more than 200 flags since its founding in 2009. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
