At the top, the box says (as you can imagine) "Box for National Flag" 国旗函
It's got a poem from Emperor Meiji under that, and then under the picture of the flag it lists the national holidays on which the flag is to be flown. The paper pasted to the inside of the box lists care and handling, as well as history of the national flag.
The bit on the back indicates it is a gift for city employees of Okaya city in Nagano prefecture .
The red silk charm is from Jūgosha Shrine, of which there are a few, but this one is probably the one near Okaya city.

The "WOKE" generation and thoughts kind of baffle me. Years ago we put people with such ideas in mental institutions. Now , we are told if we don't support and go along with their demands , we are in the wrong. When I hear stories about people getting fired for using the wrong pronouns , it's hard to believe. Since I rarely leave my house , all my info comes from Facebook , so I take it with a grain of salt.
