Grandpa was a Marine or a soldier who gets his ass shot off over there, lucky to make it home alive. Went through the brutality that he went through, and brought home a souvenir. And his idiot virtue signaling children don’t think enough of what he did to keep a souvenir of his sacrifice. This kind of thing turns my stomach.

How IRONIC the reverence we give a Japanese flag versus the way leftists trash our own American flag

Being square, it looks like a silk scarf version of the Japanese flag made especially as soldiers' keepsakes. Most flags are rectangular and made of sturdy fabric. Silk is very lightweight and can be folded up very small in a pocket.

The WW2 Allies also printed “escape maps” on silk for our troops in case they were stranded in enemy territory. They folded up so small that they could be concealed inside clothing. Here is one of occupied France, I'm guessing around 30" square:
