Three Mahjong Apron in a Bamboo Circle

This is the representative family crest of the Kajuji family, one of the noble families and famous families. This crest was treated as a symbol of honor after the peony of the Konoe family, and therefore it could not be used in the naughty family. The Kajuji family only gave the gifts to powerful families such as Nagao, Date, and Mogami. Therefore, most of the distribution situation today seems to be limited to the regions where these families were located. All of the Samurai families that were given the Kanshuji family used the sparrow crest of two, which contrasts with the three Kuge (court nobles).
