In later years the Kuki family in Ominato (Ise City) in Ise built an Atake-bune virtually equivalent to a tekkosen and named ""Oniyado", and Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI, who liked the magnificence of the ship, adopted it as a flag ship in the Bunroku-keicho War, put a madder streamer and an Uma-jirushi (commander's flag) of a golden fan on it as a token of a flag ship, and renamed it "Nippon Maru".
後年、九鬼家は伊勢の大湊(伊勢市)において、鉄甲船とほぼ同水準とみられる安宅船を建造し「鬼宿（おにやど）」と名付けたが、この船の威容をいたく気に入った豊臣秀吉は、文禄・慶長の役の際の旗船としてこれを採用し、旗船の証である茜の吹流しと金団扇の馬印を授け、船名も「日本丸（にっぽんまる）」と改称させた。
