Hi Malcolm Thank you so much for your time. I really appreciate it. The description of the kamon is accurate. Three stars in a circle, or three generals who have won a great battle. Like a coincidence story. Three generals - three nobles of Meiji restoration. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Great_Nobles_of_the_Restoration The Three Great Nobles of the Restoration (維新の三傑, Ishin no Sanketsu, lit. "Three outstanding heroes in the restoration") is a term used in Japan for three figures that played an important role in the Meiji Restoration in 1868 and are regarded as the founders of the modern state of Japan.[1] one of them... Kido Takayoshi (Chōshū Domain) from another source I learned that the character belongs to the Katsura clan. Choshu Domain was a Mori clan ...kamon is very interesting, three stars

Hi Uve Thank you so much for your time. I really appreciate it. The description of the kamon is accurate. Three stars in a circle, or three generals who have won a great battle.

"without proper references, I hate to say, your search could be hopeless and ending up only in assumptions."

Hello I would like to ask you for help in identifying the Mon or confirming the results of my research. On the saya of daisho koshirae, the Mon is Maru Ni Mitsuboshi. According to my findings, the Mon could belong to Katsura Kogoro, later Kido Takayoshi. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kido_Takayoshi There are several people with this Mon on this link, but only one is a samurai. https://ippongi.org/2011/12/23/月星紋%e3%80%80－狩猟、漁労、海上の民の痕跡紋－%e3%80%80新/ Katsura Kogoro was later renamed to Kido Takayoshi (木戸 孝允) in 1869 and use another kamon (chrizantenium) https://ippongi.org/2009/01/12/kiku/ However, I did not find any other credible link that would confirm these findings. I would be very grateful if you were interested in this character and would share your knowledge. I attach some photos. Of course, the family crest belonged to the Katsura family (or other family), koshirae may not belong directly to Katsura Kogoro, but to anyone in the Katsura family, ...but it is still very close to this important man. thank you very much Mayo
