Japanese Kamon: According to Encyclopedia Japan, a kamon "was created to serve as an unique emblem that represented a family's identity, clearly revealing the family name of its owner. Later, Buke (samurai warriors) and Kuge (the nobility) made use of Kamon, which are classified into some groups according to blood line or historical origin." Note how similar, yet different, are the Owashi and Tsujino kamons. Mount Hope Cemetery. [2020]
