It's a 5:4 high flag. As always with older high flags, I wonder: Was this flag free flying from a pole/staff, or was it also hanging from a horizontal bar?
Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 24 March 2014

This flag is not hanging from a horizontal bar but use flag staff.

The width and the length proportion of the army flag is still vertical long according to Japanese traditional of war banner however the proportion of the ensign already adopted Western flag proportion horizontally long.
Nozomi Kariyasu, 24 March 2014

Does that mean that ensigns originally weren't horizontal either? Or were there no ensigns before these horizontal ensigns?
