this is a bit strange, since to "hoist" implies lifting with some kind of device (such as a mast with a pulley) and I can't quite figure out what devices are installed on the eaves of houses or this a standard in Japan?
I suggest "hung from the eaves of houses" might be more appropriate...

>Well, as technologically advanced as Japan is, even in the past when using wood in their mechanisms, they were able to perform such simple tasks.

So you mean that in Japan, all houses are equipped with a hoisting device for flags? That is very surprising...I've seen suspended flags, but they had not been "hoisted" but temporarily hung there...
