My pleasure.
Ootaka, Zencho is a very rare name for a monk.
I believe that he came home alive. His flag would have been confiscated by the allies.

Thanks again Shinpachi, for translating my wish flag, I showed my brother and he just couldn't get over the information that you helped me with and was wondering if you could possibly take a look at one he has had for several years as well? It would be greatly appreciated!
