The sense of \"family\" has changed in modern Japan, but the crests' high-contrast motifs and simple geometries are right at home in our logo-emblazoned age, even as the designs express old cultural interests and ideals: cherry blossoms, well buckets, floating clouds. This book contains over 850 family crests \u003ci\u003e(kamon)\u003c\/i\u003e with descriptions, cultural backgrounds, and a selection of photographs showing how crests are used on banners, signs, and buildings.
