This miniature silk flag, along with the two tiny banners from items 2787 and 2788c, were integral components of the May 5 Boys Day 'warrior' display often arranged in the 'tokonoma' or alcove within Japanese homes. These displays typically featured warrior dolls known as Musha Ningyō. Measuring 15 inches in width by 40 inches in height (38 cm by 102 cm), this flag is in very good condition, despite a few subtle moth holes and one small stain.

The setup of these items as part of the Boys Day celebration served to honor the virtues of bravery and the samurai spirit. Placed alongside warrior dolls, they contributed to the ceremonial and symbolic representation of traditional Japanese history and cultural significance.
