Japanese celebration cross crossed flags

What 🎌 means

Two flags of Japan crossed on poles, the kind hung at doorways for Japanese national holidays. Outside Japan it works as a festive marker for anything Japanese.

Travel posts about Tokyo or Kyoto, anime and manga fan accounts, and Japanese food spots use 🎌 for flavor. It pairs with 🇯🇵, 🗾 and 🍣.

The flags are both Japanese, so it does not mean an alliance or a match between two countries.
