This appears like some sort of parade pass the Honolulu Gas Company office. Per Wikipedia: Victory over Japan Day (also known as V-J Day, Victory in the Pacific Day, or V-P Day is the day on which Imperial Japan surrendered in World War II, in effect bringing the war to an end. The term has been applied to both of the days on which the initial announcement of Japan's surrender was made 15 August 1945, in Japan, and because of time zone differences, 14 August 1945 (when it was announced in the United States and the rest of the Americas and Eastern Pacific Islands) as well as to 2 September 1945, when the surrender document was signed, officially ending World War II. 15 August is the official V-J Day for the United Kingdom, while the official US commemoration is 2 September. The name, V-J Day, had been selected by the Allies after they named V-E Day for the victory in Europe. On 2 September 1945, formal surrender occurred aboard the battleship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. In Japan, 15 August usually is known as the memorial day for the end of the war, but the official name for the day, however, is the day for mourning of war dead and praying for peace. This official name was adopted in 1982 by an ordinance issued by the Japanese government. 001527091 542__ $$fhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-NC/1.0/ 001527091 6531_ $$aEvents 001527091 6531_ $$aWorld War II (WWII, WW2, World War 2) 001527091 6531_ $$aArts and Entertainment 001527091 6531_ $$aMilitary History 001527091 6531_ $$aPeople and Communities 001527091 6531_ $$aPhotographs 001527091 6531_ $$aRelated Materials -- 1901-1950 001527091 6531_ $$aSpecial Collections 001527091 655__ $$aBlack and White Photograph 001527091 691__ $$aHawaii 001527091 7001_ $$aUnknown 001527091 8564_ $$9be848b6b-a2b7-4478-8632-22ac3b52db21$$s2769036$$uhttps://library.usi.edu/record/1527091/files/21379.jpg 001527091 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1527091$$pGLOBAL_SET 001527091 914__ $$ap17218coll2 001527091 980__ $$aSpecial & Regional History Collection 001527091 984__ $$aMatherly-WWII Naval Collection 001527091 985__ $$aImage
