Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed.
Reason for the nomination:
File does not meet the criteria in the PD template; it appears to only apply to laws and notices and such, not artistic works by government. Even then, I don't think it would be PD in the US anyways.

This art image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}. It is recommended to name the SVG file “Nipone.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
