family crest concerto

Our family crest is of a type not seen in many other households.
My mother had always believed that it was myoga, but she could not find this pattern in the "myoga" section.

I wonder if this is really myoga. It seems different..."

She decided to contact the family crest center, Saito, and asked them about it.

I'm sorry to bother you so suddenly, but I was wondering if you could help me find out what this family crest of ours is?

I decided to leave it alone after that, as it was unusual and I wasn't paying for it, so I didn't get my hopes up.

Two weeks later.
Dear Ms. Mariko Kaneshiro, I am sorry for the delay in replying to your letter.

I am sorry for the delay in replying. I think your family crest is Hanabarabi, isn't it? It seems to be a very rare family crest.

If so, I would appreciate it if you could tell me.

There was a letter like this in the mail.

Mariko was close to her family, but no one knew anything about her family crest. Neither did her relatives. I didn't ask about the origin. I just told them I was sorry.

I was curious about its rarity, so I decided to do a little more research.

I found that "Hanawarabi is an edible plant that appears in the Manyoshu, the oldest anthology of Japanese poetry. and "It is an interesting shape for a crest, but it is also used as a warrior's crest. It is used by the Fujiwara, Kondo, and Wada clans. The explanation caught my attention.

Mariko was a little proud to see her father saying, "We used to be a family of warriors. Mariko had seen her father proudly saying, "We were a family of samurai," but she had no idea how much she should believe him, since he was such a funny guy.
However, it is true that the Oshu Fujiwara clan was a powerful family that ruled Mutsu and Dewa in the late Heian period (794-1185). In Iwate Prefecture, just north of Sendai, where she lives, there is Chusonji Konjikido, a building familiar to the Fujiwara family, and perhaps it is also related to them....

Mariko was imagining things in her head. One night, Mariko was very tired after a trip to Karuizawa in support of her sales job.
She was wrapped in the aroma of her favorite lime, and before she knew it, she fell asleep.

Then an old man with a beard appeared in my dream and told me this story.

Nice to meet you, Mariko-san. Mariko-san. You may not know me, but I have known you for a long time. Thank you very much for your recent research on family crests. It's hard to understand, isn't it? I am sure that's because they were all burnt down in the war, and there are no documents left. However, this Warabi crest has a meaning like the Flower of Life in modern times, and it is a crest that makes people happy. So, from now on, you should continue to make more and more products using this crest. I believe that this Warabi will become more lively, and Mariko herself will also become more lively.

The old man spoke to her with a smile on his face.

In the dream, Mariko asked him, "Who are you? If you don't mind, could you tell me your name? Mariko asked him, "Who are you?

My thumbnail is as small as yours. My thumbnail is as small as yours. You can call me whatever you like.

He laughed. Mariko thought about it and named him Shusuke-san.
After that, Shusuke-san would sometimes appear in her sleep, giving her a lot of inspiration and allowing Mariko to breathe a little easier.

It's not that she became very famous or anything, but she started to feel a little happier. That's all.
