Saihai

Saihai were Rokugani war baton, which doubled as a status symbol for commanding officers. This item was a lacquered wooden rod with a tassel made of brightly colored ribbons or horsehair at its head. It was hung by a small loop from the waist. The saihai made it easy to signal troop movements from mid-range. Traditionally, commanders brandished their saihai to signal charging and offensive maneuvers, as complex signals were difficult to convey at a distance. Fields of Victory, p. 91
