Description

[Machine Translation] Mon" is a prestigious pattern that originated in feudal society and the family system, but in fact there are a variety of patterns. The patterns range from astronomical patterns of the sun, moon, and stars to natural patterns of snow and waves, as well as plants, flowers, and everyday objects. The Naoki Prize-winning artist, who has been fascinated by this world of ultimate Japanese design for more than 40 years, talks about the origins and changes of "crests" and the playful and surprising designs that are incorporated in them. This is a superb introduction to crests, written from a craftsman's point of view and in a light and witty manner.
