The sense of "family" has changed in modern Japan, but the crests' high-contrast motifs and simple geometries are right at home in our logo-emblazoned age, even as the designs express old cultural interests and ideals: cherry blossoms, well buckets, floating clouds. This book contains over 850 family crests (kamon) with descriptions, cultural backgrounds, and a selection of photographs showing how crests are used on banners, signs, and buildings. Of special interest to graphic designers, quilt-makers, and illustrators.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Language & ReferenceTopic: HistoryType: TextbookItem Width: 12mmRelease Year: 2007 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
