The whole Yellow Ribbon plot is directly taken from a smash hit 1973 song Tie a Yellow Ribbon (Round the Old Oak Tree) by Tony Orlando and Dawn which has exactly the same plot except instead of parents it's a wife / girl. The whole yellow ribbon thing in the song goes back to yellow handkerchief folk tradition - they thought it wasn't romantic enough for the song so they made it a yellow ribbon. But for the movie it's back to a handkerchief.

Apparently they remade the 1977 Japanese movie in 2008 in the US, but without Ken Takakura who cares?

Here's from wiki on how it became ocon in 70s, which then inspired the song and thus the movie.
"The symbol of a yellow ribbon became widely known in civilian life in the 1970s as a reminder that an absent loved one, either in the military or in jail, would be welcomed home on their return.

During the Vietnam War, in October 1971, newspaper columnist Pete Hamill wrote a piece for the New York Post called "Going Home". In it, he told a variant of the story, in which college students on a bus trip to the beaches of Fort Lauderdale make friends with an ex-convict who is watching for a yellow handkerchief on a roadside oak in Brunswick, Georgia. Hamill claimed to have heard this story in oral tradition. In June 1972"
