Battle Standard

A Mogami family heirloom, this battle standard was said to have been captured as a war trophy when Mogami forces defeated the Uesugi Army during a battle of the Dewa Campaign at the entrance to Kaminoyama in the year 1600. This standard features the distinctly modern design of a single wild goose in flight upon a white background. In the Battle of Hasedō Standing Screen, a flag with a very similar design can be seen in the upper half of the sixth panel of the left-hand screen.(L)
