Tsutaemaru Case-Mate iPhone Case Playing Cards

The Tsutaemon crest was popular among entertainers and townspeople in the mid-Edo period, who chose stylish crests regardless of their family lineage. Stiff samurai crests were unpopular, and elegant or fashionable crests were preferred. The Tsuta and Hanabishi crests were among the most popular patterns (according to 'Monsho' by Kosaku Ito). Masaki Kondo's 'Onna Mon' notes that the most frequently appearing female crests were: - Kiri (including 'Gosan no Kiri', 'Mitsu-wari Kiri', and 'Kiri') - Tsuta (including 'Tsuta', 'Eda-maru Tsuta', and 'Mitsu-wari Tsuta') - Cho (including 'Ageha-cho') These three motifs were common, with Kiri and Tsuta making up nearly half.
