Rare quality nobori Japanese banner for Boy’s day; beautiful hand-dyed work of the samurais on cotton.

The designs on the banners were much simpler then and some were quite large. They must have had a scaring effect on the enemy when they saw so many flying banners in the sky approaching towards them.
