It says "Friendship" across the top and the rest are just signatures, some from bar hostesses.

Was this supposed to be a WWII flag or something?

I think so, but not sure.

In the 70's , it was a common going away gift I think. My Japanese friends all signed one and gave it to me when I left. Even though my has been folded away out of the sun , it yellowed and looks very old now.

Is there any way of telling if it is WWII?

It ain't WWII. Bet the farm on it.

Yeah, the recipient is a woman "Mihoko", in the first place.
