Abe Kaji no Ha Ceramic Tile

[Abekaji no ha] A group called Shinke-Itto (Family of Shinto Priests), mainly Suwa-jinja Shrine in Shinano, Nagano Prefecture, the period of the Northern and Southern Courts (Nagano Prefecture), was brought for the Southern Court. He supported Imperial Prince Muneyoshi, a son of Emperor Godaigo, and continued to work hard to the end. The ancestors of the Abe family were also included in the party. It was designated as a myojin (a gracious god) by the Suwa faith. A group of people with the symbol of 'Kaji no Ha' (Leaves of Kaji), the crest of Suwa Myojin, was scattered in various places without competing with the south wind and without penetrating through the beginning. A part of them later set up as a naval force in the western sea area of Japan as a sign of the protection of the sea. The Abe family secretly installed the crest in Abetani, Suruga (Shizuoka Prefecture). He actually called himself the Abe clan from Abetani, and before that, he had called himself Unno, the same name as Sanada of Hokushin. On the other hand, both of them belonged to the Shigeno clan of the Taizoku , and 'Rokuren-sen' was the representative crest of Deluxe Shigeno. If the Sanada clan included in the Sanada clan was 'Rokubunsen' (commonly called 'Rokubunsen'), then Abe did so. The Abe family also raised the banner of 'Kaji no ha' and 'Rokurensen' as their emblem, and at first they belonged to the Imagawa family in Suruga Province and then to the Tokugawa family after their fall. Especially, the work of Motozane ABE and Nobukatsu II in Komaki and Nagakute during the period of Ieyasu's independence was impressive. The Abe family's movement to the Kanto region was the downfall of the Hojo clan
