This is a lovely set of two Japanese WWII "Meatball" national flags, most likely captured and brought home by USGIs during or immediately after WWII. The first flag measures 29" x 34", and is made from rayon, an early semi synthetic fabric made using wood fibers. It shows just a bit of light staining, and no tears or major damage. It has cardboard corner protectors, and the hanging ties are still present
