quince notepad

Mokko is also called yokoboke and is the most commonly used among the boke family crests. In Takazawa's "Dictionary of Family Crests," wood sorrel, quince, and hawk's feather are considered the three major family crests, while in Niwa's "Basic Knowledge of Family Names and Crests," wisteria, quince, and wood sorrel are considered the three major family crests. / Reference 1: The quince crest originally came from China as a pattern called "窠" (kuwa), which was used on clothing. It later became a pattern on the frame of a blind (misu), and eventually became a standard pattern called "mokko" after the character for blind was dropped. The character "木瓜" (quince) was later applied to this pattern. (The character "窠" refers to a nest on the ground, as opposed to a nest in a tree. The shape of the pattern resembles a nest containing eggs.) / Reference 2: The quince pattern originated from the design on the fabric surrounding the frame of a blind, and is not, as commonly believed, a representation of the cross-section of a quince or a cucumber.
