Tsu Domain army flag:
Located at Mie Prefecture.
Last lord's name: Toudo Takakiyo.
They used white field with red three
horizontal stripes as army flag.

Nozomi Kariyasu, 25 March 2014
A vertical white flag, 5:4, with in the middle third of the field three
horizontal red stripes separated by white spaces, in the ratio 4:3:4:3:4. The
armies really seem to have kept to the Japanese ratio of 5:4.

They used white field charged with
black nail extractor with black ball inside
as naval ensign.

A nail extractor? This is not what today's Japanese nail pullers look
like. Were they really square? (The things you learn about in a flag
forum. (-:)
This is a vertical flag, but only slightly higher than wide, so slightly
that I don't know what ratio it would be. (Well, 215:211, but that
doesn't sound like something a flag maker would decide on.)
The extractor is apparently three quarters of the flag's height in
width, its hole half the height and the ball a quarter of the height in
diameter; a really nice design. I wonder how long it took before charges
like this got their fixed shape?

This is an old type nail extractor which we don’t use anymore.
They fixed a nail with a square washer first and then
raised a nail with a lever. Only square washer was used for
kamon design.

Also used white field with black ball
in the center as naval ensign variation.

I wouldn't know what ratio, or what the size of the ball is.
