Japanese family crests, known as "kamon," originated in the Heian period (794-1185) and were initially used by aristocratic families to signify lineage and status. Over time, their use spread to samurai and commoners, becoming a means of identification and heritage. Kamon feature various designs, often inspired by nature, and are still used today in traditional ceremonies and family celebrations.
