About 10 years ago I read various books about the war
experiences of American soldiers involved in fighting against the
Japanese in the Pacific Theater. I recall reading that one method for
unemployed women of Japanese origin (on Guam, Saipan and Okinawa) to
earn some income was to take locally produced Japanese flags, get in a
"sewing circle" and write Japanese-character names on them, and then
passing them on to another Japanese gal to get different
Japanese-character "handwritings" on them. These flags would then be
sold as "war trophies" to unsuspecting, late-arriving, second-echelon
American soldiers who were occupying the islands. Many of which may be
appearing on eBay nowdays.
