Clearly that's a photo taken of the Japanese wing of the CNT during the Spanish civil war

Unless these flags are available for sale on the internet (which I'm sure they aren't as, sadly, I'd probably own one), there has got to be a good story behind that.

It could be CNT folks over there, or some japanese syndicalists that received some flags awhile back.

Both the French CNT and Vignoles have IWW flags.

I'm almost 100% sure those are the CNT Vignoles flags

Actually I see the wildcat picture on them, so they are definitely Vignoles flags

Vignoles will give flags to anyone who'll wave them.

Unlike libcom who promised me a flag and never delivered angry

I wish the black and pink flag was more clearly visible

I looked at the indymedia article the picture at the top came from and found this iww blog, it has a little information about a a demonstration in Sapporo City, and says there where two members of CNT-F there.

There are some more pictures here

Manning off against those riot cops is class, safe in the knowledge that if you dont fuck with them then you are fine. The equivelent of making faces at the monkeys in the zoo maybe.
