FAMILY CRESTS OF JAPAN

JAPANESE CULTURE & HISTORY

Book Features & Author Introduction

Bold • Stylish • Evocative

Japan’s family crests are visual poems that rivet the eye and concentrate layers of meaning. Their high-contrast motifs and simple geometries remain rich and relevant in today’s logo-emblazoned age despite their centuries-old origin.

Here is a collection of over 850 family crests with descriptions, cultural backgrounds, and photographs showing their usage on clothing, buildings, and banners. Discover the crests of Japanese leaders and explore the mythology and beauty behind classical ideals and icons like cherry blossoms, cranes, and floating clouds. Illustrators and graphic artists will find inspiration and ideas for motifs and decorations. And perhaps among these timeless designs you’ll find a crest that resonates with your own ideals and family identity.
