During the mid-Edo period, people other than samurai, including entertainers and townspeople, used crest designs that they found appealing, with the exception of the crest featuring hollyhock leaves, which was prohibited by law. The samurai class favored stiff designs, while people preferred elegant and stylish crests. The wisteria and hanabishi crests were among the most popular. According to "Monsho," by Kosaku Ito, and "Onna Mon," by Masaki Kondo, when female crests were categorized by motif, the most common ones were paulownia, wisteria, and butterfly, with paulownia and wisteria making up nearly half.
