Kamon has been used to show the origin of your house, family tree and status from ancient times in Japan.
For example, you can attach it to your ceremonial robe or accessory, or you can place it inside or on the outside of your house as a symbol of your family. You can see kamons at the family grave where all your ancestors usually rest in peace and at temples.
Corporations sometimes use their family crest as their company’s emblem. The phenomenon that even your average family has a family crest only happens in Japan, so we can say kamons are unique to Japanese culture.
We believe that there are more than 5,000 kamons in Japan today.
