My grandfather was an allied solider in WW2. He brought back what I can only assume is a tengui with the red sun on it and a ton of japanese characters surrounding the sun. If I post a picture of this can anyone help me translate the writing?

Don't use it though...

Apart from the bad karma it carries...the chinese will look at you funny because its akin to someone walking into a bar mitzva with a nazi flag...and WWII is something the Japanese would rather forget about.
