An endless source of inspiration

Family coats of arms, or kamon, are symbols of the history and lineage of Japanese families. They date back to around the 9th century, when they were used to decorate the carts of noble families.

This book is a complete collection comprising 4,560 crests arranged by theme. These characteristic minimalist motifs, symbols of Japanese culture, history and aesthetics, can rightly be considered to be the origin of modern Japanese design.
