War Banners
Ok, this one is a little more urgent.
I have searched high and low for examples of Korean war flags/banners/pennants that may have been the style used in the 3 kingdoms period of Korean history. Any good or mediocre examples of these would be much appreciated. Specificly i need to know whether they may have had standard bearers in the chinese fashion or whether they wore their standards on there backs like the japanese samurai.
TY in advance.

Re: War Banners
Well the period isn't exactly well known, nevermind concerning Korea. However the Japanese sashimono was a comparatively late developement (afaik post-Yuan), and born directly from the rather idiosyncratic idea of warrior glory the bushi (who only started becoming prominent in the 9th-10th centuries AD) adhered to, so it would be unlikely in the extreme for the Koreans to be using that approach. Given that they tended to be rather heavily influenced by their Chinese neighbours in many things, odds are much better they were using a roughly similar approach to military standards.
