Japanese Kamon “Mondokoro” Crests Group B
A GRANITE BAY DESIGN MICROSITE JAPANESE FAMILY CRESTS
Derived from ancient textile patterns, the “Mon” is used on everything that belongs to the family, including their clothing. They are woven or embroidered on each garment in five places: on each sleeve, on each breast, and at the back of the neck. They are only omitted from wedding robes, mourning robes and hair-kiri garments.
