Researchers found a World War II-era "good luck flag" that belonged to a Japanese soldier in a Texas museum. They returned it to his family in a Tokyo ceremony.

Japan’s Emperor Naruhito and his family greeted throngs of New Year’s well-wishers from a balcony window at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo on Thursday.

A version of the Japanese imperialist flag, in Newcastle club colours and logo, was shown briefly in the original video.

The flag belonging to Shigeyoshi Mutsuda was returned to his son from a U.S. war museum where it had been on display for 29 years. "It's a miracle," 83-year-old Toshihiro Mutsuda said.
