Oak
Oak leaves have historically been used as plates for holding food. When these began to be offered to the gods, the oak gained a reputation for being sacred. It is said that priests were the first to use oak emblems, and is still commonly seen by those in that profession.
Fan paper
Fan paper refers to the special paper used to make fans. When a main family used the folding fan emblem, a branch family would often use the fan paper out of courtesy. Often seen in the Fukuoka prefecture.
