A book written by Shoryu Hatoba and Yohji Hatoba from the perspective of Monsho-uwaeshi (Kamon-artist). In addition to a brief explanation of each Kamon, it also touches on the structure of Kamon, making it a unique book. Furthermore, all kamon are drawn with "Mon-Mondala ® ︎", an original technique of Shoryu Hatoba, which draws only with perfect circles and straight lines, so you can enjoy the beauty of Japanese Kamon design just by flipping through the pages. There are also several pages that tell you how the design variations were born from the basic Kamon. It's also fun to read, because the kamon commentary texts and columns are designed to be familiar to the younger generation and children. “Mon-Mandala®︎”, which increases in density as the number of pages increases, is worth a look !
