Taiko kiri golf head cover

The paulownia crest, along with the chrysanthemum crest, has a felicitous significance and has been an authoritative crest, so it has been used since ancient times as a pattern for armor, swords, and their accessories. In the era of Hideyoshi, it was further applied to general arts and crafts, so the paulownia crest became extremely popular. It was used in everything from clothing and furnishings to architectural carvings, and it formed a kind of grandiose and unrestrained style called 'Taiko kiri.' It is said that there are few art works from the Momoyama period that do not feature this pattern ("Japanese Crests")
