Yosegaki Hinomaru with Kanbun writing?

[SteveRS]

Hello. This Yosegaki Hinomaru is another one that has been made available. One person that looked at it told me that it contains a poem in Kanbun, which he said is somewhat unusual. But that would not necessarily make the flag a fake. Any comments as to the authenticity of this flag are appreciated. I can try to obtain better pictures. Thank you.

The Chinese poem is a 7-Character poem 七言律詩 called 書懐 wrote by Kunimoto Shinohara 篠原国幹 during the Civil War in 1873, warning about the dangerous unrest spreading throughout Japan like a rainy mist and the need for the Satsuma Clan to rise like sharp swords in aid of the Emperor.
But the poem on this flag had a little modified.
The original is：有雨有烟又有雲 四百餘州亂紛紛 腰間秋水今方試 掃了妖邪謁國君
The poem on the flag is：風雨有烟又風雲 中原萬里亂紛紛 腰間秋水今方試 掃了妖邪謁國君
