These flags are based upon a booklet called Fune to Hata (Ships and Flags) published by the Nihon Maru Memorial Foundation in 1994 following an exhibit at the Yokahama Maritime Museum by the same name and during the same year. Photocopies of the flags were provided by Nozomi Kariyasu for these images.
The photocopies show actual flags, not artistic images. Several different
sizes are shown. The flags, particularly from 1916, are weathered and torn,
but allow for some degree in accuracy in representation.

Harada Kisen K.K. had its pre war fleet of 3 sunk
in World War 2 and presumably folded as a result or it may have been
incorporated into Osaka Shosen K.K. with whom they has became associated in
1938.

Kagoshima Yusen. This flag is also shown for Kagoshima
Kisen K.K. in 1902. Presumably this is the selfsame company having changed,
in English equivalent, from Kagoshima Steamship Co. Ltd. to Kagoshima Mail
Steamship Co. Ltd.
