Help with Good luck flags

Majestic said:
Most of these are names, and its often difficult to know how to pronounce the names even if you can read the characters, because each character has multiple possible readings.

Next to the good luck phrase is 為田和義雄君 (For TAWA Yoshio) which is the name of the recipient. And then maybe one of the presenters under that 安部駒雄 ABE Komao, who may be the head of some local community group. The line next to his name contains the name of this group, based in Tennōji-machi, but I can't parse a couple of the characters: 天王寺町囗朕全会長. Then you have more names. Then the head of some local defense group KURABE Sei'ichi. Then more names. Then on the far left you have the head of the neighborhood organization for Kita-Kawahori Minami, 内山薫 UCHIYAMA Kaoru? (not sure about the bits in red).

Thank you again 👍
 
And the part in which is written that this Uchiyama Kaoru was the head of the neighborhood organization for Kita-Kawaori Minami is the last line on the left, right? And where Is the name Kurabe Seichi?
Thanks again.

Yes, neighborhood organization is last line on the left. Actually, the surname might be MUKAIYAMA (向山), and not UCHIYAMA.
KURABE Sei'ichi and his title is the longish line 6th from the left.
 
I ask one last thing and then I'll stop bothering you😅. Exactly what would be the kanjis for "neighborhood", for "defense group" (in the part with Kurabe) and for "Sei'ichi"?
Thanks you again.
 
防護部長倉部清一 Defense Chief, KURABE Sei'ichi

Reminder, the given name has multiple possible readings. I have gone with Sei'ichi because I think its the most common, but Kiyoichi is another possibility. There may be even more.

Perfect, thank you 👍. And which Is the kanji for "neighborhood" in the last line on the left?
 
Hi everyone, I would like to have a further small clarification if possible. The kanji I indicated therefore corresponds to the kanji "南" ,right? Or maybe it's an old way to write this kanji (南)?

I found this form online. Could it be related to the indicated sign?

So in the end some kanji are written normally while others in coursive. Maybe to speed up signing?
 
Yes, that's one of the reasons. And it's also a matter of writer's preference. It's not so uncommon to use different script in calligraphy. For example, the right half of the second kanji 河 kawa is also written in cursive script.

It seems like a fake flag. There are many mistakes in kanji. The writer actually wouldn't know kanji.

Toritoribe, and for you the first two flags of this discussion, are they authentic?
An extra opinion never hurts.😅👍
