Oxalis corniculata (creeping wood sorrel) - 「片喰」 in Japanese
The Katabami is one of the 10 most used family emblems (Jūdaimon) in Japan. It is often combined with swords to make the duality called "Ken-Katabami".
Wood sorrel is a plant that propagates widely, so the Katabami can symbolise one’s wish for a flourishing lineage.
