Oriental Grey Japan Sanja Matsuri Komagata Mon Art T-Shirt

Buy your kid this Kids' Basic T-Shirt with this famous Japanese Sanja Matsuri Komagata Mon in dark grey. The background is yellow. This is a mon I saw on the hanten of the Komagata team during the recent Sanja Matsuri. The Sanja Matsuri is one of the three largest Shinto festivals of Tokyo. The mon looks like an ancient wooden wheel where the rim is fat and made in sections. It creates a pleasing geometric pattern. The mon is similar to the coat of arms from European heraldic tradition. Although, there is a big difference, the mon stays clean and minimalist in design. European crests tend to get very complicated by combining other family crests over the generations. Mon and Kamon are usually designed using a roundel containing a abstracted, stylised image of an object. This object can be a plant, an animal, a tool, or anything you fancy. This will lead to a large amount of categories containing many variations of a particular object. Although we end up with thousands of mon, due to its minimalist and even modern design, mon and kamon are never boring. They look absolutely beautiful on any piece of merchandise.
