Kamon was born in the
Japanese tradition and cultural climate and is the symbol of a family or
a group. In addition, a symbol similar to the family crest is an emblem
of national as well as local government bodies including prefecture,
city, town and so forth, uniquely designed in consideration of the
tradition and cultural background specific to the respective region.
Also, religious facilities like shrines, Buddhist temples, various
enterprises, educational organizations like universities, colleges, high
schools etc. have got their own emblems designed to represent their own
tradition and background, and they are regarded as important properties
of their own. In Japan, there are as many as 30,000 different family crests. Most of them are images of plants followed by images of animals. This could explain that the traditional Japanese way of life had been closely associated with the natural surroundings. It appears that by drawing various images of nature that were seen or used in people's everyday life for usage as decorative articles for clothes, furniture etc. and with the repeated use of such images, gradually it became the family symbol or crest. This is probably how the Japanese family crest was born. |
