Kamon identification!

[Airborne951]

Hi everybody,

I am new on this board. I have a kamon related question. I recently acquired a Shin Gunto which had a kamon on it (picture included). Where can I find more informations on the web for this Kamon? Is there a English written book available where I could get more informations on it along with the family associated with it?

 

Thanks for you help!

Do you have it upside down? The Mori clan's crest is as follows. John

Hi,

thanks for your reply, no I am sure it is not upside down because there 2 circles over the horizental bar, yours has 1 circle over (bellow) the horizental bar.

 

Thanks.

I thought so. My focus is sengoku daimyo and although the Matsura clan uses the three spheres there is no ichi character underneath. Someone may come up with the clan. Ah Watanabe. Good one!!! John
