    Default Otomo/Saga Mon

    IMO, I think the two clans have the coolest looking Mon, but I can't find any information what it means, does anyone know what exactly the Mon is suppose to be and what does it symbolize?

    (Its clickable by the way....An S2 overhaul mod.)

    Seriously. Click it. Its the only overhaul mod that's overhauling enough to bring out NEW clans

    What type of flower is the Oda Mon?
    I know the Akechi apparently have a bellflower.

    It's called a Mukou and it's really complicated. Here's a quote I took of Koei wiki:

    "The mukou is a graceful seal from China which has several different meanings and users. It is said to either be a wisteria flower, a bird's feathers, the sleeping beauty flower or a deviation of the paulownia seal. During the Tang Dynasty, it was originally designed after a bird and its nest, and it was a seal for shrines to represent auspicious hopes for the family's future children. It was first used as a family crest in Japan by Tokudaiji Saneyoshi during the Heian period and it gained several variations ever since."
