The five-striped design shows that this was probably a pre-1928 flag.

The white flag charged with white sun on blue sky and letter of post and a wild goose in fly.
Nozomi Kariyasu, 04 December 2009

The goose on the flag is a reference to the Chinese idiom 'travel a thousand miles to deliver a goose's feather - the object is light but the thought is deep'.
