Maru ni Mitsukashiwa Spiral Notebook

【Maru ni Mitsukashiwa】Kashiwa crest. This design was created according to the 'three oak leaves split' in 'Heian Monkan' and other sources (created on April 6, 2013). In ancient times, oak leaves were used as plates to serve food. Ancient cooks were called 'Kashiwade', and the 'Kashiwa' in Kashiwade was taken to name the oak tree. The 'leaf guardian god' that protects tree leaves is said to reside in the oak tree, and Shinto priests who use this leaf in rituals use the oak crest. Oak patterns are often seen on clothing depicted in picture scrolls from the Fujiwara period (compiled by Ito Kosaku, 'Japanese Crests')
