Japanese WWII Parachutes

An IJA 50kg (1101b) cargo parachute, made in June 1944 by Kokka Koku Heiki. The dark tan pack measures 17in x 91n x bin; the white static line is stowed under the pin release flap, and the rope loops at the comers are for attaching to the cargo container. Just visible above the label is the black IJA stamp of a five-point open star in a circle.
