This dates only to 1990, when it was recreated by local Kyoto artisans to replace an earlier four-clawed dragon brocade, made in [[Ming Dynasty]] China, and gifted by King [[Sho Nei|Shô Nei]] of the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]] to the Kyoto temple of [[Dannohorin-ji|Dannôhôrin-ji]] in the 1610s, with the temple then in turn donating the brocade to the float.<ref>"[http://www.dannoh.com/history/history02.html Gion matsuri kuronushi-yama no ryûmon maegake]," Dannôhôrin-ji official website.</ref> |
