Oumajirushi 御馬印 [Heraldry (lit. horse seals)]

This 17th century compilation of warrior heraldry was printed with wooden blocks and coloured by hand. Gold and silver leaf enhances some illustrations. The banners are arranged by the name of the warrior they represent, and the names are given in both Chinese characters and phonetic Japanese.
These banners belonged to Tokugawa Hidetada (1579-1632), the second leader of the Tokugawa shogunate, which was to last until 1867. Here he is identified by his honorific posthumous title of Taitokuin-sama. His banners continue on the following two pages.
