Furai-ki is a type of tairyo-bata, hung initially at the bow of a ship to pray for a bountiful catch and safe voyage. Today, it is used as a decorative flag or a symbol of good fortune for various activities. Furai-ki features a myriad of illustrations, including sunrises and treasure ships. Taiwan is greatly influenced by the Japanese culture. Therefore, tairyo-bata can also be seen in many traditional Taiwanese fishing villages.
