You
The heavenly bodies have often been the subject of worship, especially the Orion constellation. The moon and the star emblems are derived from this worship. This emblem is used by the Hosokawa family.
Paper mulberry
These trees were often growing near shrines, resulting in them being worshipped as sacred trees. The Suwa shrine uses this emblem.
Lightning
When there was lightning prior to the harvest of rice, many believed this to be the work of gods, and result in a good harvest.
