Pins arrange part-2

This is pins arrange part-2.Let's chek part-1 too.

It is based on '中陰八重桔梗紋'(chu-in-yae-kikyo-mon).

I'd like to make these pins in real... Maybe,difficult to make.

Pins arrange

Do you want pins like this ? If it exists real...

This mon is one of Kikyo(桔梗) type.

Seimei's mon

'桔梗'(ki-kyo) is popular kamon.

Because famous Japanese family had Kikyo style mon.

• 明智光秀(Mitsuhide Akechi)
• 加藤清正(Kiyomasa Kato)
• 安倍晴明(Abeno Seimei)

Oh,It's shot.

Added pentagon.

This is 晴明's mon. So abstracted,I can't see this Kikyo style (^^).

The old bushi's symbol

 '竜胆'(rindo) was taken as symbol of 源氏(genji) that is Japanese very old Bushi group. Their kamon is also rindo.

This is '笹竜胆紋'(sasa-rindo-mon).sasa is bamboo leaf.It's mixed rindo and sasa.Genji Bushi's symbol mark.

Added Circle '丸ニ竜胆紋'(maru-ni-rindo-mon).

This is omitted bamboo leafs.'二葉竜胆紋'(huta-ba-rindo-mon).At first,we can not recognize this is a kind of rindo model.

'竜胆車紋'(rindo-guruma-mon) is rindo wheel !! It's powerful than original rindo-mon.

'葉隠竜胆紋'(yo-in-rindo-guruma) is one of rindo-guruma.This is a one of design method.Base model is inversed.I don't know historical reason.But I think there were some reasons why the bushi used this mon or had to use.

This is interesting.Rindo and butterfly is united. '竜胆花蝶紋'(rindo-ka-cho-mon).Cool design.

Morning glory

'朝顔'(Morning glory) is one of summer flower.
When I was primary school student, I had to rear morning glories on my summer holiday as home work. I hated it.

This flower blooms every morning !! and wilt every noon.

Let's see some kamon of morning glories.
It's quite simple,'朝顔紋'(asagao-mon). Can you imagine real flower ?

 Five morning glory are united.It's called '五ツ朝顔紋'(itu-asagao-mon).

'糸輪に六ツ朝顔紋'(itowa-ni-mutu-asagao-mon). The circle(itowa) adds tight impression. It looks like button.











 That's my favorite of four. '竹丸ニ朝顔紋'(take-maru-ni-asagao-mon). It seems view of summer !! we can remember something summer memory.

Imagine sakura ocean

 "Sakura" means cherry blossom was in bloom in Tokyo about 2weeks ago.(Now,already fallen...) This picture is Tokyo Nakano Street.That's "sakura" road !!
The weather was fine.People went to see sakura,and eat,drink under sakura tree.

Sakura's kamon exists.It's simple.If we listen the word "sakura",we imagine white pink first,but kamon's sakura is chic.Symbol is interesting.


When we look sakura symbol,we can imagine and see Sakura ocean everyday.Fantastic brain power right ?

The flower on passport

Chrysanthemum is called "kiku" in japanese.
This kamon represents "kiku".
 

Do you look this mark "kiku" ?
That's why technique of omission and abstraction are implemented Kamon is beautiful. 

Japanese passport's mark looks like "kiku-mon".So I changed color.Have you seen this ?
