■ What are Family Crests?

Family crests are emblems born in Japan and symbols representing families or clans. It is said that during the Heian period in aristocratic society, patterns were added to ox carriages used to visit the imperial court, which became established as family crests during the Kamakura period. The ten major family crests in Japan are said to be Wisteria, Katagiri, Japanese Medlar, Hawk's Feather, Ivy, Oak, Paulownia, Wild Ginger, Sazae (Horned Turban), and Tachibana. Many family crests originate from plants, animals, nature, buildings, objects, patterns, designs, and images. Family crests correspond to Western symbols or coats of arms. In Japan, they are used at everyday events such as gravestones, weddings, funerals, or ceremonies involving formal attire like ceremonial kimono and hakama; they are also renowned worldwide as representative designs. The emblems used by samurai from the Genji and Heike clans as battlefield markers gradually evolved into family crests and began to be used as symbols of clansmen's unity. Especially memorable are the family crests of feudal lords during the Warring States period. By the Edo period, family crests had spread even among commoners. While surnames were limited to some individuals only, there were no restrictions on family crests. Today, family crests are an indispensable part of Japanese people's daily lives and one of their cultural practices.
