The tsurumaru, a crane with its wings raised to form a circle, is drawn in white on a red disc with JAL lettered beneath, set on a small cream square. Japan Air Lines was formed on 1 August 1951 and launched its first international service, the Pacific Courier to the American West Coast, in February 1954. The crane emblem was designed in 1958 by Jerry Huff, first placed on the forward fuselage and moved to the tail during the 1960s, becoming one of aviation's best-known symbols.
The bag is made from 10-ounce canvas of 80% recycled cotton and 20% cotton. The recycled fibers are collected from garment-cutting waste and then intertwined with cotton for added strength and durability. Self-fabric handles. Dimensions: 15.75" h x 15.25" w; approx. 240 cubic inches.
