@buddhasinthewest.bsky.socialSouvenir pennant in Japan, my collection. ”Mount Tanigawa”, Gunma Pref. This is the pennant of the Tenjindaira Ski Resort, located halfway up Mt. Tanigawa. Tenjindaira Ski Resort opened in 1960 and has since been renamed "Mt. T by Hoshino Resorts". Length 60cm (23.6in) . Circa the 1960s, vintage.
