Display Your Legacy with Timeless Honor!

The Hatadai (Banner Stand) is a revered accessory used by samurai to showcase their sashimono (battle flags) and hata-jirushi (hanging banners), symbolizing clan pride and allegiance to a Daimyo, Shogun, or Emperor. Handcrafted from quality wood using a strong, traditional Mortise-and-Tenon joint, this tritonal design has been a staple from the Sengoku era through to modern times. Whether on the battlefield or during ceremonial events, the Hatadai not only marks unit designations and rally points but also proudly displays your samurai heritage. Designed for portability, assembly and disassembly are quick and easy, making it perfect for both display and storage. (Please note: the banner and banner pole are not included.)
