In our videos related to 家紋 Kamon family crests, there were some people telling us that our content is inappropriate because this 卍 crest appeared in one scene. But this mark is very different from what some people misunderstand it to be.
If you take a closer look at it, you can see that it is facing the other way around compared to the mark which is considered to be inappropriate.
In Japanese, this is read 卍 Manji, and it is an official Kanji character that represents omen or sign of good fortune in Buddhist terminology.
You can find this mark in various places in Japan…
1. On Buddhist temples, statues, banners, gongs, etc.
2. A map symbol for temples
3. Kamon family crests and family names
By the way, there are actually multiple Kamon crests that uses 卍, so you can understand how familiar Japanese people were with this mark from ancient times.
