tsuba Meaning Of 3 Kanji On The Flag

[Kurikata]

Signature of this tsuba is Yanagawa Naomitsu + kakihan.

 

But what about the 3 kanji on the flag ?

 

I guess the design of the Tsuba is Shoki on a flag but what is the meaning ? I have not found Oni on the Tsuba

 

Thank you for your help

Maybe 筆 John

[ROKUJURO]

Perhaps the signature of the flag's painter?

  抱 一 筆  =  X KAZU FUDE ?

Hōitsu, I think.
