This banner accompanied a gift of sake offered to the deity Atago Gongen, the Great Avatar of Mount Atago (Atago-yama dai-gongen). He is worshipped as a protector against fire, and many shrines are dedicated to him, particularly in the western part of Japan. The donors, the Kanai clan, are identified at the bottom, below a wooden platform tray used in Shinto rituals to hold offerings, on which two vases sit.
