White silk flag for Sea God Festival, H103

| Description |
Description provided by photographer Roy Simonson reads: "Nearer view of the white silk flag used by the one section of the village of Shioya (Kaneku) for the festival. The nearby mountains mark the horizon below the flag. The rampant figure is supposed to be a dragon, with ideas from the giraffe, goat, and horse. It stands between stalks of rice below a bright orange sun. The streamer is supposed to symbolize the tail, whereas the 'horns' are from the old Samurai headdresses for war."
