What is the difference between a daimon and a mon or kamon?


Normally, when I have seen a family crest they are termed mon or kamon.
However, I have also seen the term _daimon_. What is the difference?




[代紋｛だいもん｝](https://kotobank.jp/word/%E4%BB%A3%E7%B4%8B-558545) refers
exclusively to the crest of a yakuza group. Think of it as a 家紋{かもん} for
yakuzas.
