On this day, samurai families would take ancestral armor and kabuto (helmets) to the inner parlor (also for the purpose of airing them) and place decorated hatasashi-mono (battle flags) in the hallway; and the family heads would give instructions to their children.
この日武士の家庭では、虫干しをかねて先祖伝来の鎧や兜を奥座敷に、玄関には旗指物（幟）を飾り、家長が子供達に訓示を垂れた。
