Hi all.
Last month, my Japanese class was presented with a very special piece of history. A local American man was given this nisshouki 日章旗 (Japanese flag from WWII) in the 70's by another American colleague of his. He has not known what to do with it for all this time, and had it stored in his attic until recently. He brought it to my Japanese class in hopes that we could find the descendants of it's original owner (who we believe is Yano Saiichi san) and ideally, return it to them when we go to Japanese on a study tour later this year.

If any of you have any resources or connections that you could provide me/my class with, that would help in this task, it would really be greatly appreciated.

よろしくお願いします
Thank You
