Design
The banner Tokisada carries is based off of the Amakusa Shirō's real-life camp banner (Japanese: 天草四郎陣中旗, HepburnAmakusa Shirō Jinchūki) painted by Yamada Emosaku.[1] The text reads in Portuguese (the language of the Jesuit missionaries in Japan) Lovvado seia o sãctissimo sacramento (modern spelling: Louvado seja o santíssimo sacramento), meaning "Praise be to the most holy sacrament".
