Tango Koi Nobori and Shoki Nobori
In the samurai family, they liked dyeing their crests on banners, and fond of flags depicting Shoki statues and warrior paintings.
(The photo was taken in May 2017 on the grounds of Namiki Shrine.)
The man drawn on the flag in front of Dango Ichii Figure is "Shoki".
During the Tang Dynasty, in the dream of Emperor Xuan Zong, he exterminated the disease, and
He is a legendary person who has completely cured the disease.
It was the one who set up a Shoki-like flag at the end of the day.
I hope that my child will grow up healthy.
The flag was used to prove identity on the battlefield.
The era of war ended, and the Edo period of Taihei.
This custom of the samurai spread to the common people.
Parents wishing for the healthy growth of their children in the past and now remain the same.
Let's spend time at STAY HOME Uchi.
