Title: Excellent Reference Book
Review: If you're into anything Japanese then this is a very good reference book to have lying nearby. It catalogs thousands of family crests and they're indexed by motif, which makes it relatively painless to look a crest up. Do be advised that all the crest names in this tome are in katakana (Japanese syllable symbols) so you will need familiarity with katakana (or yet another handy reference tome at your side) in order to determine what family each crest represents.Dollar for dollar, though, you cannot get a better deal than this book which has about 400 pages worth of crests, with 20 crests per page. Each crest appears twice, though, so it comes to about 4000 crests, all told.
