Hey Dark....Is that a Rising Sun logo,etc encompassing the raft or am I just imagining it? But, in reality, I suppose it is just a design to make it more visible to searching aircraft or surface vessels. Cheers.

Hi again yup, it is a hidden logo of Rising sun navy flag, so it wont be notice easily by their enemy but can easily notice by their own, during the rescue...... when they are at sea. here is a photo of life raft Attachments:

Come to think of it I don't remember ever seeing a Japanese life raft photo... I mean they didn't really need them especially toward the end of the war. They were kamikaze'ing by then.

Hi again, yup your right about it, it hard to see an old photo with a Japanese Life Raft.... i have seen only one reference in a Japanese Military book, but only its a drawing.... that is why I'm searching for a old photo that can see the Japanese Life Raft...if can find one. Thank you Attachments:
