lonely panet Posted June 7, 2018 Report Posted June 7, 2018 silly question about the subject matter please??

Rodenbacher Posted June 10, 2018 Report Posted June 10, 2018 Hamfish... according to Forum rules we do not discuss items in the For Sale And Trade Board. But as you started, I will try to answer. Japanese Heraldry is a really complex topic. This F/K was made long after the incident you mentioned and some crests have been used by various families over the years. Otherwise may several branches of a family (understanding themselves as an own Single family) use the same crest. I am currently in Morioka, Iwate and the former ruling Fujiwara family here used their own crest (two herons) combined with the Hosokawa crest. Sometimes they used the crest of Takeda Shingen because long ago they had been related to the Takeda. But one family members became powerful an started his own dinasty. Combination of crests could result from various reasons: marriage, adoption, making peace between two families... All I want to say is that the combination of crests is rather a normal thing in Japanese History. And by the way: it is a very nice Set and very well done. 1 Quote
