Half Japanese wife (no pics) says it looks like mainland Chinese (simplified) characters.

That is what google said at first. I had to switch to Japanese.

That'll work.
I had a Japanese anti-fungal cream that worked when nothing else did. Took a picture of the box with ingredients and it translated it all.

Only a guess, but kamikaze pilots wore headbands that resembled this. It means “ I’m fricked”

Obviously I'm late but that does not look Japanese.

I got this result. 
I think one of the above posts was correct that Kamikazee pilots wore bandanas or scarfs similar to this with messages on their missions. Some of those guys chickened out and surrendered or turned back and landed instead of hitting their targets, and this may be the history with this piece of fabric.
With a little imagination, I think the translation I posted could be interpreted as "Wei Lin, May you find your target and get to it at the best possible moment."
My dad was on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific during WW2, and his carrier was hit twice by kamikazes. I find this type of artifact facinating.

My translation says
Wei Lin, Earth, Close Hit and AT
May be best to find someone that knows the language or even Chinese.
Interesting find though. My grandpa (ww2 navy vet) passed and this was found in a random duct taped envelope of his that had a parts sheet for a yard edger labeled 1963.
He spent time in the pacific

I ran it by a buddy I taught ENGRISH with in Japan back in the 90s. Here is the discussion:
is this the original, or did a non-japanese writer copy it? Also, it seems to be Classical Chinese.
It's on an old rising sun flag.
It looks like ( attempted to rewrite script here) to
me, but I can't make sense of that. Give me a second to think about it.
Not sure how that grammar would work in Classical Chinese, so it's hard to speculate about a meaning.
I also can't tell if those are dots between the 1&2, 3&4, and 4&5th characters. If they are, then it's like "women, great woods, land, dirty villages, and the like" maybe?
