Wisteria floribunda (Japanese wisteria) - 「藤」 in Japanese.
The Fuji is one of the 10 most used family emblems (judaimon) in Japan.
The Fujiwara House and its branches, the most powerful noble family of Kyoto during the Heian period (794-1185), were probably the first to use the wisteria as their emblem, possibly because they had the character fuji (wisteria) inside their name. However, many people soon began to adopt a wisteria emblem as well, because they believed it would somehow attract the good fortune that seemed to endlessly bless the Fujiwara.
