Dealer Notes

= rare and comprehensive Japanese family crest album, illustrating a large collection of Japanese family crests. Family crests are unique to Japan and convey the tradition and history of the "house”. The symbols are arranged twenty to the page with short descriptions in Japanese. They form a tremendous design overview resembling business logos, tattoo art, or creative symbols.
