Embracing Omodaka Necktie Playing Cards

The crest of omodaka. It is said to be called 'Omotadaka' or 'high face' because the leaves look like a human face and the leaf veins are raised high on the surface of the leaves, which also has a pun on the phrase 'stand out'. It is also said that it is written as '沢瀉' because it is a grass that grows in '沢の瀉ぎ' (the pouring of the swamp). As a pattern, it has been widely used since the Nara period... It is also said that it was often used by samurai families because its leaves resemble arrowheads and it is also called 'kachi ikusa gusa' or 'victory grass' (according to 'The Encyclopedia of Family Crests' by Takasawa et al.).
