How are they different from Europeans coat of arms?
Colton Clark
We do but it’s really only because boomer LARPers paid someone to make shit up based on their heritage
Lincoln Stewart
For plebs, their family crests comes from their family shop logo from medieval times. For nobles it often indicates family roots. For example a cadet branch of a noble family will have similar design
Levi Miller
I believe the European coat of arms differs from individual to individual and there is no single "family crest" for a house.

I once in a while rarely see people in malls selling family crests, claiming they will find yours if you tell them about your past but it seems to be bullshit scams
Most families don't have one, its mostly for nobility and royals
Common folk that actually have them are just the descendants of nobility that have lost their status, or larping people who made it up or got sold one
William Rogers
What about the descendants of farming peasants?
Luis Sanders
They made up their own designs in the edo period for muh identity. But I think the untouchable caste made up their symbols very recently
Jeremiah Jenkins
we have coat of arms for lastnames
Anthony Ramirez
Most Japanese didn't have surnames let alone family crests until the late 19th century.

THE ONLY ONES THAT LACK A SYMBOL ARE ONES WHO DESCEND FROM PERPETUALLY PLEBEIAN, OR PERPETUALLY PEASANT, LINEAGES, WHICH ARE VERY FEW FAMILIES WORLDWIDE.
Christopher Reed

SERÍA IMPRUDENTE, AUNQUE NO ES SECRETO, Y ES PROBABLE QUE ALGÚN USUARIO AÑEJO LO RECUERDE, EN CUYO CASO ME DARÍA IGUAL SI LO PUBLICASE, O NO, EN ESTE HILO.

Cooper Wilson
What's that? What hanzi did it become?
Henry Rogers
They made up their own so they won't get shat on. They also changed their surnames to more classy sounding ones.
Nicholas Gonzalez
A no ser que tengas un apellido único o rarísimo, no veo por qué sería imprudente. Sólo quería comparar otros escudos con el mío pero bueno
David Jenkins
Chen/Chan/Tan. It started as the standard/seal of the Duchy of Chen during the Spring and Autumn period.
Samuel Hall
What about all the burakumin who couldn't escape the discrimination and are stuck living in burakumin communities? Surely they have no reason to have a family crest.
