Oriental Pink Grey Three Geese Japan Mon Art Tile

Decorate your house with this ceramic decorative tile with a Japanese Three Geese Japanese Kamon in pink and grey. The background is light pink, the border is dark grey. The Three Geese kamon is a design I just thought was cute. I do not know if this particular kamon was ever used by a Japanese samurai clan. The mon is an emblem to designate a family, clan or even an organization. The kamon is used specifically to identify a family. The mon is similar to the coat of arms from European heraldic tradition. Although, there is a big difference, the mon stays clean and minimalist in design. European crests tend to get very complicated by combining other family crests over the generations. Mon and Kamon are usually designed using a roundel containing a abstracted, stylized image of an object. This object can be a plant, an animal, a tool, or anything you fancy. This will lead to a large amount of categories containing many variations of a particular object. Although we end up with thousands of mon, due to its minimalist and even modern design, mon and kamon are never boring. They look absolutely beautiful on any piece of merchandise.
