Authentic Japanese Kamon Symbols: Custom Family Crest Design

 

Hi, I’m Takanori Tomita.

Are you looking for a powerful, timeless symbol for your next tattoo, company logo, or personal brand?

A Japanese family crest, or Kamon, offers a level of uniqueness and tradition that you won’t find anywhere else.

 

What is Kamon?

A Kamon is a traditional Japanese emblem that represents a family’s lineage and history.

You will often see these symbols on family monuments, traditional gates, and ceremonial clothing. Each Kamon features motifs inspired by nature, such as flowers and animals, or architectural elements and calligraphy.

A Rich History

The history of Kamon dates back about 900 years to the Heian period. Originally used by court nobles, these crests gradually spread to the samurai class.

In samurai movies, you may have seen flags marked with bold symbols on the battlefield; these were Kamon, used to identify different clans and warriors.

Today, beyond their historical roots, Kamon are highly regarded for their beautiful geometry and are widely used in modern design and decor.

Customer Testimonials

Dear Takanori, I think that it's very nice of you to follow up with customers and provide new material and additional resources. As I mentioned in one of my earlier emails, your service is very professional and worthwhile to anyone investigating Japanese symbols for art, tattoos, or just general interest. Some time ago I purchased an English / Japanese dictionary but it was very difficult to figure out the appropriate meaning of the symbols. You should be more aggressive with advertising your service.Take care, keep in touch. Best regards, John
