WHAT'S BATTLE TAG
Fire and Fights are the Specialty of Edo

In Japan, battle tags are called 'Kenka-fuda' (fight tags). Kenka-fuda are said to have originated from tags that firefighters in the Edo period hung around their necks. Edo people of that time were quick to fight, and when asked for their names, they would say 'sharakusee' (annoying) and carve their names on tags to hang around their necks, which is said to be the origin of the name.

It is also said that when Edo people fought during festivals in Asakusa, where the mikoshi (portable shrine) culture is deeply rooted, they wore wooden tags with their family names burned into them because they didn't have time to introduce themselves. Today, they serve as amulets worn around the neck during festivals and are one of Japan's unique cultural elements.
