This remarkable vintage book, “Hyojun Moncho (標準紋帖)”, is a classic Japanese reference catalogue devoted to Kamon, the traditional family crests that symbolized lineage, honor, and identity throughout Japanese history. Compiled by Yoshino Takejiro and published by Kinensha in 1968 (Showa 43), this desirable vintage edition presents an extraordinary variety of Japanese crests, including elegant plants, animals, geometric forms, and symbolic motifs. The crisp black designs are beautifully printed on softly aged ivory paper, creating a refined monochrome contrast that highlights the symmetry and graphic beauty of every crest. Especially remarkable is its exceptional state of preservation. Despite being nearly 60 years old, the pages remain remarkably clean and the illustrations beautifully sharp. The original slipcase is also preserved. Older examples in such attractive condition are increasingly difficult to find. A fascinating collectible for enthusiasts of Japanese art, samurai culture, kimono and textile design, heraldry, traditional patterns, and vintage Japanese books. 【Size】 • Height: 19.5 cm • Width: 13 cm • Depth: 2.3 cm 【Condition】 Excellent vintage condition.
