Japanese Traditional Logo "Kamon"

hello every one, long time no see!
after a few weeks hard work (i didnt really sleep last week),
i am online again.

so this time i would like to show "Kamon" japanese traditional logos.

in the past (hundred years ago), every japanes nobility family has its logo to represent the honor and traditional.
these logos are still very "well designed", or even "modern".
