Re: Saitou ka-mon files uploaded to board.

Hey all, I posted images for Saitou's mon on the Shinsengumi HQ board in the Family crest topic.

I'll check Shinsengumi Keppuroku, I believe in the ep that Hijikata sends Saitou to infiltrate the Itou group you see a shot of his mon. I'll see if I can screencap it later. I checked my volumes of Kaze Hikaru manga and it seems that it's the bamboo design as well. I'll scann that and out it up. Oddly enough, Kaze Hikaru has shots of almost every captain's mon which is where I initially found the mon for Okita. Harada's mon is similar to Kondo's but with only one horizontal bar.

Out of curiosity, why would his kamon have been wisteria?

Note: Oddly enough, the biohazard sign used in our modern world was actually a family crest according to this small book I have.

*never found Saitou mon...even paused to see split second Saitou
appearance in the film Bakumatsu Monoga...during the movie to see if
he had kamon on his clothing....(in other films you can clearly see
Kondo+Hijikata's kamon)

(I was wondering why the mon was bamboo and not wisteria... will have
to hunt up that discussion... )

*there are many reasons why bamboo would be a good choice

and we were good too...cited all websites:)

*nine...for the number of bamboo leaves by the way REALLY is
unlucky...I asked a Japanese student and that was her first
impression...but again superstitions/beliefs change over time

*I just thought is was interesting...once he gets his new Fujita last
name does he get a package "this is your new family" package complete
with crest, name etc...
