Turtle shell - 「亀甲」 in Japanese.
The Kikko mon represents a simplified turtle shell. Turtles are considered a symbol of longevity in Japan and this is why Kikko emblems are used by several shrines. The Izumo Taisha, one of the most important Shinto shrines, uses a Kikkō ni Ken Hana-kaku shinmon, an auspicious design which combines turtle shell, flower and swords.
There are about 500 known variations of the Kikko mon.

How to Order - Service Description-
Select your Kamon size
1.5 cm fits on all weapons and is fairly small for a Kamon. We recommend this size only for Kamon with few details. Fits all weapons, including 24 mm Jo.
2 cm can be considered as standard. It fits on most weapons, except on the thinnest weapons such as the 24 mm Jo.
2.5 cm is fairly big and will not fit on thin Koryu Bokken, Tanto, Bo, Hanbo, and Jo.
If the selected size is too big for the ordered weapon, the Kamon will be adapted to the maximum engravable size. - Select your Kamon design
