Hata-jirushi

Hata-jirushi

nihongo|Hata-jirushi|旗印| were the most common of war banners used on the medieval Japanese battlefield. The term could be translated to literally mean "symbol flag", "marker banner" or the like. Unlike the later "nobori", which were stiffened, these banners were simple streamers attached to a shaft by a horizontal cross-piece.

"Hata-jirushi" served much the same purpose as the "nobori" which replaced them, identifying and distinguishing regiments or sections of an army.
