Thank you for the kind words. I am regularly updating the Samurai Heraldry Gallery, so check them out from time to time. I started the Heraldry Gallery due to requests where the research often helping to expand my own files on Samurai Heraldry. If anyone has questions, ask them here or at the Samurai Forum, I will help if I can find the info. Emmanuel |

Hi Evalerio,
I'm searching the correct banners of Yamamoto Kansuke, my only reference is the movie "Samurai banners" and some illustration of Stephen Turnbull's books, but I think that's not correct.
Thanks |

Yamamoto Kansuke's banners in Turnbull's books have come from the 1969 film 'Samurai Banners'. Below is what I have on Kansuke:
The two nobori are from RK heraldry books. The black and white nobori can be seen in the Kawanakajima Screens. This would be used by Kansuke's troops. The red nobori would be displayed in Kansuke's HQ, along with the black and white versions. The two uma-jirushi are used by reenactors and participants in Shingen-ko Festivals and at the annual Kawanakjima Festivals. The tall white sashimono from RK books might be used by Kansuke's Tsukaiban. The rest of the sashimono can be seen in Shingen ko and Kawanakajima Festivals. The large square used by mounted samurai, the rectangular ones used by footsoldiers. The more recent Taiga drama 'Furin Kazan' have some of the most accurate depictions of heraldry in the age of Takeda Shingen. Yamamoto Kansuke is shown flying a personal white banner with the mon seen on the red nobori at the top with Buddhist prayers written in black below it. A dramatic banner which I am still trying to verify as accurate. I am hopeful that it is as the series portrays very accurate heraldry. |

Have you found any details on those of Hattori Hanzo? I recall that there is a black and white image in one of Turnbull's books, which shows something like arrows radiating towards a centre point, with the fletching outwards. |

Thank you very much EValerio!
The red nobori would be his personal banner? |
| EValerio | 05 Sep 2012 4:02 p.m. PST |
Rokurota, Yes, the red nobori would be a personal banner, displaying one of the mon associated with Kansuke. Skeptic, I don't have any heraldry for Hattori Hanzo…yet. Given what he did for the Tokugawa, I don't think you would 'advertise' your presence with heraldry. Turnbull's Osprey book on the Hatamoto show heraldry for the Tokugawa Horse and Foot Guard. I don't know whether these men were descended from the men Hanzo led who became the foundation of Ieyasu's bodyguards. Another of Ieyasu's 'ninja', also named Hanzo (Watanabe Hanzo), did have heraldry, though. |
