Vintage bamboo fishing rod identification

Question
I am having a hard time finding the name on a vintage bamboo fishing rod I found and wanted your help in identification, if you could please. The name looks like Gaflsm or Craflsm, with the name written in cursive on top of a flag emblem. It has two stars on the flag with blue trim and red on the bottom. The rod has a cork handle and has three sections, which put together are about 8 feet long or so. It comes in the original wooden box and has some fishing line with EBISU on the label in a slide compartment. The box also has various hooks and accessories. Can you help me identify the rod? Thank you for your help! Randy

Answer
Randy,
I don't know how old you are but when I was a kid in the 50s Japanese made trinkets to survive . Made in Japan was synonymous with junk .Originally sold by the thousands to GIs in a light long box with lures and huge flies . Mostly consider trinkets by collectors but memorial to GIs , they have little resale or fishing value. I have never seen any written history on them in English.
Here's an EBISU rod for sale:

EBISU (YEBISU)- One of Japan's Seven Lucky Gods
. The male God of Fishing Folk and Good Fortune, the Ocean, also Deity of Honest Labor & Patron of Laborers. The smiling and bearded Ebisu is most often depicted dressed as a Japanese peasant with a fishing rod in his right hand, and with a large red sea bream dangling from the line or tucked under his left arm. In Japan,the sea bream or red snapper is a symbol of good fortune.
Ebisu is the only deity among the Seven Lucky Gods to originate in Japan. Today he symbolizes not only safe sailing and plentiful fishing, but business prosperity for merchants in all trades.
