Love the banners that are attached to the samurai, showing what clan they belong or fighting for. I was born in Osaka, and my crest is Matsunaga clan. Had to change my last name when I arrived in America.
The samurai wearing a red like cap isn't that to deflect arrows?

Thank you for watching the video. You know it well. This balloon-like thing is called a holo and was originally used to avoid arrows. It is said that it was mainly used by shoguns and daimyo. It is said to have been worn by honorable and noble samurai. It is used as a proof of the general in Soma Nomaoi.
Thank you for your interest in the video. This is a historic festival dedicated to Taira no Masakado, a military commander from the Heian period in Japan.
