The Meaning Of Symbol


svarsh

Recommended Posts

I wonder if anyone knows meaning of two overlapping lozenges (as pictured). It's most probably a kamon, but what clan? So far, I found two explanations: (1) kuginuki (nail extractor = penetrated nine castles) and (2) Chigai bishi - with no meaning provided.

And another enigma: post-2381-0-31752800-1508311113_thumb.jpeg

 

The bug stands for bug, but what these ko-sukashi bars stand for?

 

An insight would be greatly appreciated.

Good morning Sergei.,

 

In Image 1:

 

I think your Kamon  is Chigai Kuginuki.

 

Chigai 違い meaning a difference, like a Chigaidana (traditional stepped shelf).

 

Chigai Kuginuki is the Family crest of ex Prime MInister Tarō Asō

 

You could check out the Asō Clan 麻生

 

Chigai Bishi would be more lozenge shaped.

 

Cheers

Hi again Sergei.,

 

Image 2:

 

The overlapped bars may be a reference to plank bridges
