Ume Kamon Engraving
Figure
Prunus mume (Japanese plum, Japanese apricot) - 「梅」 in Japanese
In Japan, the plum is often associated with Tenjin, the Shinto deity of scholarship. Shrines that worship Tenjin often use the Ume mon as emblem (shinmon) and have plum trees planted on their sacred grounds.
The plum is also part of the Sho-chiku-bai triad (pine, bamboo, and plum blossoms), a symbol associated with the New Year in Japan, and consecrated in arts and poetry.
The Ume mon has about 300 known variations, but the most famous is actually the Ume-bachi mon, which does not represent a real plum blossom but a geometric abstraction of it.

The mon of the powerful Maeda Clan, lords of the Kaga Domain.Kamon 2

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
