Pacific theater WWII bring back. Heavy wear and what appears to be some stain (possible blood).
Comfort bag (慰問袋, imon-bukuro) was a gift packet prepared by civilians to be sent to Imperial Japanese Military soldiers for the purpose of encouraging them. An imonbukuro, or “comfort bag”, what we would now call a “care package”, was used to send small gifts to the troops. The bag contains comfort articles (慰問品, imon-hin) not issued by the Japanese Military, such as toiletries, dried fruits, canned foods, and letters of encouragement. Bags were prepared by schoolgirls or local patriotic women's societies.
