AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This remarkable book, “Hyojun Moncho (標準紋帖)”, is a classic Japanese reference catalogue devoted to Kamon, the family crests that symbolized lineage, honor, and identity among samurai and noble families.
Compiled by Yoshino Takejiro and published in 1979 (Showa 54), this authoritative volume reflects decades of accumulated research and tradition. It systematically introduces thousands of family crests, classified by structure and motif—plants, animals, geometric forms, and symbolic emblems—making it both a scholarly reference and a visually captivating design archive.
The book is printed in refined black ink on softly aged ivory paper, creating an elegant contrast that enhances the clarity and rhythm of each crest. The restrained monochrome color palette embodies traditional Japanese aesthetics, allowing balance, symmetry, and form to speak with quiet authority.
Even today, Kamon remain deeply woven into Japanese life, appearing on formal kimono, ceremonial attire, and tombstones. This volume therefore serves not only as a historical document, but as a living bridge between tradition and contemporary Japanese culture.
A highly collectible and inspiring piece for enthusiasts of Japanese art, samurai culture, graphic design, and traditional pattern books.
