What a fun experience! My father used to do silk screen designs, mostly on paper (like Christmas cards). He didn't have to hold the template with his fingers, so it was easier for him! When I get back to Kyoto I will have to visit Hiiragiya Shinshichi. Thank you for sharing!

@Rainbow Rose Princess Mishti It was mainly a hobby of his, not a business. Sadly my father passed away about 8 years ago, and none of us kids have really taken up the hobby. But thanks for asking!

Wonderful video, I am glad they have crests there with less history as well. I hear a lot of people especially people in the West who only want authentic traditional Japanese culture (for example Kamon used for centuries), but they fail to realize that at one time or another all of those crests were original and new, and culture does evolve. I think it is important to remember and respect traditional culture as well as be able to incorporate new/evolving culture.

How does one know what his family crest is if grand father came to Hawaii in early 1900’s?

@glennyonemoto2326 you try to make sure that they didn't change their name. If they did then it you'd need to figure out their old name and carry on from there. A quick Google can actually help you find the kamon.

I have always loved the Japanese culture. And Shogo is the perfect channel for learning!

I think my family crest would maybe include a Rose (common name on my mum’s side) Oak (part of my maiden name) and/or Cherry which is our favourite wood and a favourite fruit too!

Shogo-kun, I’m making my list for when I come to Kyoto. I’m going to buy: summer, spring/autumn, and winter kimono 👘, a naginata, and hamon of my fire dragon family crest🔥🐲. I am going to a tea ceremony 🍵 during cherry blossom 🌸 season.

You can see all. The designs on the website

I love your channel, its helping me understand more of this amazing country, as well as helping me get a better understanding for my books. The Kamon has always been an interest when I create my characters. If I'm ever able to travel to Japan I'll definitely have to check this store out.

This was so enjoyable to watch! Thanks for sharing this experience with us!

This was an excellent video. You guys are so much fun to watch! It's clear what a strong bond you have with each other. Your kamon all look amazing!

Thank you so much for sharing the experience! I will definitely go there with my friends one day. I was gonna ask some questions but you already put the answers in the description. A nice touch.

The Kamon look so pretty! I really like the dye colors too. Thank you for taking us along Shogo!! I always look forward to your videos.

It is so cool! Thanks for sharing! The more I watch Shogo's videos, the more I want to visit Kyoto 😍

Thank you for sharing the location! Your channel is so well organized and informative, thank you thank you!!

What a rich tradition and memorable experience. Thank you for sharing this Shogo. Much happiness to you and your family especially on the 30th.

I think you will easily reach your goal of 1 mil subs by the end of the year as long as you do your best. Keep it up Shogo-san! 頑張って！

Truly beautiful. Thank again for sharing this important cultural and historic experiences with anyone.

Staggering. Alway so minimal; elegant and beautiful. I really really loved this. :-)

Such an amazing experience! Cant wait to go and visit Kyoto and have my Haori stampped with a famous Samurai family´s Kamon. Love your videos and your channel, they will be of great help and inspiration when i finally visit Japan.🤩

This was a great video and I'll definitely be on the look out for that particular Kamon shop when I decide to visit Kyoto. I would probably choose two kamon. One based on my birthday and the other one from the famous Samurai warlord Nobunaga Oda.

Fantastic video and so educational! Love that shop! Stay safe and always so caring!

Yes. Adding your touch gives one ownership and makes you feel like a craftsman. Thanks. Fun.

This was absolutely amazing to watch!! If everything goes well, I'll be taking my kid sister to Japan for her 18th birthday in 2025 so I'll definitely be stopping by! Thank you for sharing this wonderful video.

OH MY GOSH! Shogo, We share birthdays! I had paused the video on the wall to see what mine would have been and was surprised to find out we have the same crest! :)

😮 thanks for your videos. I'm writing a bucket list from it.

How awesome is that. I found the whole experience interesting. And very creative. How fun Kazu and I have same birthday and month just not year, mine is rooster.

So cool! And it looks like a lot of fun!! Greetings from Costa Rica

Just visited with three friends, the staff are so lovely and the kamon are even more striking in person! Can't recommend it enough :D

Amazing Video as always

I've been looking forward to this video! It looks like a lot of fun and the designs Kazu and Tomoko chose are really charming. One question I have though: do the staff speak English, or is some at least basic Japanese required?

Nice! I'm checking the site out! (kind of upset I never knew about this place... I want one... it would be of a star)

Great video,great experience. I was really enjoying watching you choosing Kamons, I wish I could be there to choose one for me (I already know which one do I want 👍). Question :it is allowed to choose a kamon even if it was belonged to someone else in the past? Thank you Shogo for your great videos.

That’s so cool. Can we peruse all these without visiting Japan? I’d love to visit, it’s only funds that don’t allow! 😁 Love your uploads, they are so soothing, informative and positive. Much respect to you, sir.

Thanks for the experience! 😙

Today on Ask Shogo Kamon Overdrive, will the crew be able to make perfect prints of the chosen Kamon? Or will they have instant regret for having chosen the large size and not the small. Let see on … Ask Shogo - Kamon Overdrive!

that's really cool! i think i would choose some design about water or rivers to represent my family, because the meaning of our surname is "a person that lives by a river" and i really liked the idea of a symbol of the family in those

Mine is 19th June too! Suppression definitely feels apt

It is really hard to pick some out of that huge variety of kamons. If I was in Kyoto I would definitely visit that shop. Both Kazu and Tomoko Chan chose beutiful kamons. 👍

This was really fun! I definitely want to do this the next time I come to Japan~ I’m curious about Japanese 花言葉 now though… do you think you could do a video on the topic sometime?

So cool!!! If I had to choose one it would be so hard. Combining my parents original meaning of archer and crow or using my husband's meaning of little fish.

I love this "let's go explore Kyoto videos", they're so cute. 😊 I'm curious about something. Seeing as how this dye shop can put kamon on accessories and my mind, like a true nerd, went straight to dice bags, it got me to wondering, are tabletop pen and paper role playing games like Dungeons & Dragons all that popular in Japan?

Call of Cthulhu is actually the most popular TTRPG in Japan. It's obviously a geek/otaku thing though. They also have some cool original games. I really enjoy Ryuutama. The biggest difference is that in Japan because people might have a hard time having a regular group it's popular to be able to play in one shots easily.

I have plans to - pandemic willing - visit Japan when I turn 40. (Almost there...!) I'll keep this place in mind if/when I make the trip!

Shogo-san, I am deeply sorry to inform you, that you will not have one million subscribers by January, 2023. However, it brings me great joy to tell you that, by 2023, you will have many more than one million subscribers! 🌸

Nice! Found my flower, and I love it. c:

Omg my birthday is also january 30th! So glad to see it here

I love these Kyoto hidden gems

perfect!!!! i love you all!

Very cool shop!

cool crests. nice shop.

I would like to go here. A very nice silk pressing workshop with amazing service! 👏 What kind of tourism service do you prepare in your business?

I was very surprised to see that Tomoko has the same family crest as my family. We enjoy your videos very much, Shogo. Do you have a website/ email where we can ask questions or request/ suggest possible video content?

And there is now another place to visit in Kyoto, when I finaly can get ove to Japan. Thanks Shogo, im looking foorward to my own Kamon

Thank you for this nice suggestion for a trip to Kyoto. Will we ever be able to see Tomoko and Kazu without masks ?

Wow so cool, i would love to have my own kamon to have around by house and personal belonging. どもありがと先生。

Ha! Very nice my family crest is the Chrysanthemum floating on the river, but was told 2 years ago that they changed it that at some point and it was actually like the one you said is your families. Do you know if it was common for them to be changed?

Great video

That furoshiki looks amazing

Ohh This Japanese beauty It's like a balsam for my soul 👌🏻

I love the excitement in the reactions *applies paint* YOOOOOOOOOOOO

This is the first time I've seen a samurai open a KZread channel

Now I really want to make a family crest and start a tradition :D

I'm year of the tiger with blue green color I get the raft very cool symbol. Hard to find there really isn't many calculators to find your symbol especially your birthday flower.

This looks so much fun! Do you think it would be ok for someone who doesn't speak very much Japanese? Also do you think this experience would be suitable for children?

If I'm going to design a kamon, it will be a catfish brandishing a chisel. In honor of Pharaoh Narmer, the catfish king.

@01Elendil

@Rainbow Rose Princess Mishti I know right? Pharaoh Narmer's name literally comprises the hieroglyphs for a catfish (nꜥr) and a chisel (mr), thus the name Narmer. He is like the Nobunaga of ancient Egypt, the great unifier of the two lands (upper and lower Egypt).

Thank you!

You said it was possible to design one correct? If that's correct, I think I might go with that option. There's a lot of options, but I like the idea of taking the designs there and making one just for me. Like my birthday, zodiac, and constellation mixed into one without having to do three different prints.

It would be so neat to find a Kamon that would be similar to my Scottish family crest. My family crest is a boar's head inside an encircled belt.

Happy Birthday to Tomoko!

This is on the list.

I share Tomako birthday! I wish you an early Happy Birthday!!🎂

Aw, man ... wish you had done a slow pan over the birthdays, so we could see ours ... saw mine barely but not large enough to make out. They have a website maybe?

My families name is Tabata our Kamon is a circle with 3 lines going through it. I actually saw it in the video it might be under a different name tho

I would love to do something like this

Kyoto is only 9 hours from Ibaraki. I could makes that into a two day trip and see some other cool stuff while I’m down there. My family is part of the Takeda clan would love to get something with our kamon on it.

Kazu is so funny and cute.

Hello! Nice video! Do you know if a Kamon database exists online? Like, a place where all known Kamon are registered? Or a book also. Thank you very much, your channel is very interesting:) greetings from Turin, Italia Andrea

Can you do shorts about the people featured on japanese yen banknotes ?

It would be cool to do this on a summer Yukata.

It looked like a lot of fun. Does the pokeball at the front of the store mean it’s a pokéstop?

Did they have any kamon with wolf pictures?? If I would make a crest to myself, it would be a wolf for sure.

"I choose you... BAG!". 🤣🤣🤣 KAZU!!!

Azming work

Tomoko and my sis have the same birthday 😊😊

I choose Oda crest!😎

I’m not sure if you’re big on video games, but I’d love to see an analysis on ghost of Tsushima

Oooooh shogo loves me 🥰

I'm always fascinated with Kamon and family crest, I also created one. But as a non-Japanese I don't know if I'm allowed to have one? P.S. if you also know any book or references about Kamon, please suggest one :)

I am visiting in September so maybe I missed it but what where the prices ? Also can I do it on a Yukata ? Thank you

I'd like the title of any book out there like an encyclopedia of kamon, if there is any. Thanks!🐙🇺🇸

I love this, if I would choose I would combine my two zodiacs together(A Golden Dragon Fish) and my birthday 16/03

I would choose either of two Kamon. 1 five petal cherry blossom or 2 a variation of a flying Crane Kamon instead of three I would choose five flying cranes

OMG you have the same birth day as my aunt, I my self am july 15 😁

Can you make a video on how Autisim is viewed in Japan and is there is any resources for Autistic people or not? For I have high functioning autism and I would like to live in Japan eventually. However I'm wondering if I was to move and live there. Would be resource centers would be able to apply for services. Or would it be unwise for on autistic foreigner like myself to want to move there. Please let me know how Japanese people's view people on the Austism spectrum. Thank you

What coincidental luck we have the same birthday. July 27th

I just found out that a kamon base on my birthday is a chocolate vine flower. Its japanese name is akebi, I was wondering where can I find on online explanation what the flower and it's color repesent?
