No other animal served to inspire and motivate the Japanese warrior in World War Two more than the magnificent tiger.

From the author of "Imperial Japanese Good Luck Flags and One-Thousand Stitch Belts," Michael Bortner's long awaited "Battle Carried" examines World War Two era Imperial Japanese good luck signed flags, featuring artistic renderings of the tiger.

"Battle Carried" examines the history, meaning and cultural context of tiger imagery as it applied to the decoration of good luck flags. Through hundreds of extensive color images and detailed close-ups, as well as woodblock prints and rare vintage photographs, this book superbly illustrates some of the rarest and most highly sought after specimens of tiger art flags, many of which are identified to their soldier, sailor and airmen owners.

"Battle Carried" is an invaluable resource for artists and scholars of Japanese culture, as well as for historians and collectors of flags and Japanese wartime memorabilia.

Bortner, Michael A.: - Michael Bortner has been a collector of Imperial Japanese hinomaru yosegaki for over fifty years. His authoritative volume on that subject, as well as on senninbari, was released in 2008. This book is intended to provide the reader with an equally thorough and detailed discussion on the history and use of the tiger by the Japanese to decorate a rare few of their good luck flags. Drawing upon his own extensive collection, as well as those from fellow collectors worldwide, the author has assembled the first book in English solely on the subject. The author earned his B. A. Degree in History from the University of California, Irvine, and his M. A. Degree in Anthropology from the California State University, Hayward. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery from Georgetown University, Washington, D. C., and currently lives in the San Francisco Bay area with his wife Andrea; they have two children.
