Family Crests of Okinawan (沖縄の家紋)

I just wanted to draw the attention of readers of this blog to an excellent website on Okinawan family crests (Okinawa no kamon). Take a look around. These crests are visually interesting, and in some cases strikingly beautiful. See if you can find the crest of the family of the founder of the style of Okinawan karate you practice.
