About kamon.net

According to “Kamon”, written by surname and kamon researcher and professor Motoji Niwa, a kamon is “an emblem that symbolises the family name or title, and has traditionally been used to represent the house”.
Kamon have been used from the Heian period, along with the surname, to represent the house. When researching ancestry, these two are often inseparable.
