Japan // National Flag / Mt. Fuji Ascent

This flag has been further inscribed ALT 12395 FT believed to represent an ascent of Mt. Fuji in Japan as this is the altitude of Mt. Fuji.
Presumably the GI who acquired this flag climbed the mountain during his occupation duty in Japan, as the altitude is expressed in feet.
