Ginkgo crane at corner cut coaster

【Sumikirikakuniichouduro】Ginkgo crest This design was created with reference to the Nakamura-za theater's turret drawn by Utagawa Hiroshige in "Prosperity in the Eastern Capital" published in "Family Crests and Names" by Takarajima-sha (September 20, 2014). Nakamura Kanzaburo's original family crest was "dancing crane inside a circle." However, the 5th shogun, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, prohibited the use of the character or design of crane, which was his beloved daughter's name. As a result, the ginkgo design, which resembles a crane spreading its wings and is also similar to a fan that is considered auspicious, was chosen instead (Takarajima-sha "Family Crests and Names")
