Thanks

Hm... Not a perfect match, but doesn't that look an awful lot like the Minatogawa Kikusui mon?

It is hard to see, but might also be this mon...kiku over the kanji "ichi" (one). Family of Tani (valley)...but remember that by the 20th century anyone could use it (I think).

Regards,

Cheers

Good morning Roy & George,

 

I have heard this Kamon referred to as Hangikuni Ichino Ji.

 

Here's a wild card:

 

Is it a play upon shichishōhōkoku (Which if I remember Ivan Morris's "The Nobility of Failure" goes something like "though I have but one life I would give seven lives for the nation...")

 

Cheers

Deep stuff Malcolm just wonder if a short holiday away from bath may just be a good Idea

 

Thanks

 

Roy
