Oriental Red Yellow Japan Hattori Kamon Art Beverage Coaster

Serve your drinks on these Hard Plastic coasters with cork back with this famous Japanese Hattori Mon in deep red. The background is light yellow. This is the kamon of the Hattori ninja clan. It's a fictional clan based on a famous Japanese samurai and ninja Hattori Hanzou. The kamon is fictional too. The design is red on a dark background. The mon is similar to the coat of arms from European heraldic tradition. Although, there is a big difference, the mon stays clean and minimalist in design. European crests tend to get very complicated by combining other family crests over the generations. Mon and Kamon are usually designed using a roundel containing a abstracted, stylized image of an object. This object can be a plant, an animal, a tool, or anything you fancy. This will lead to a large amount of categories containing many variations of a particular object. Although we end up with thousands of mon, due to its minimalist and even modern design, mon and kamon are never boring. They look absolutely beautiful on any piece of merchandise. Great for a gift during Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
