(Onoe Kikugoro)
Fan (Ohgi)
These family crests (In Japanese, KAMON) are called 'Ohgi-Mon' in JAPAN.
Fan : When a fan is opened, it spreads out from a single point, symbolizing the way things in life develop. Because of this association, it is used in ceremonies as an auspicious object, expressing celebration. In addition, because of their elegant form, patterns of these fans were often depicted in picture scrolls from the Fujiwara Period to the Kamakura Period.
