Subject:identify mon on old japanese box
Posted By: manuD Wed, Feb 14, 2018 IP: 37.173.61.200 Could you identify the mon on the left, the one on the right seems to be the Paulownia of the Toyotomi clan. |

Posted By: manuD Thu, Feb 15, 2018 Thank you very much for this detailed and very interesting comment. Now I have a better understanding of the purpose of this box. All that remains now is to identify the crest with the three birds. So far I havent found anything on internet. |

Posted By: beadiste Sat, Feb 17, 2018 At first I thought the little birds could be plovers (chidori), a popular meme in Japanese art. |

Posted By: Gakusei Sat, Feb 17, 2018 In W.M. Hawleys book "MON - The Japanese family crest" (1976) I have found this crest on page 46: "Bamboo & Sparrow". He listed sixteen royal Kuge families e.g. Bôjô, Honami, Ikegami, etc. who used this MON. |
