Hi! I have two half-Japanese characters in a story whose mom’s last name was Kato or Katou. (Not sure if I want the “U.”) I guess (some?) Japanese families have crests, and I thought Kato (“increase wisteria”) would have that tree in theirs. I also read that after a while, Japanese people started depicting wisteria flowers as rising instead of dangling from branches because they thought the latter would bring the family misfortune. Does anybody know what the Kato crest looks like?
