At the moment I'm not too sure what the motif on this piece is. Myloko suggests that it's grape leaves, but I'm not sure the shape is quite right. Anyone else have any ideas?
The crest also appears to be somewhat old since we haven't been able to find it currently in use in Kyoto. If anyone has any images of this crest in use, we would appreciate seeing them!

They look like grape leaves to me too. The shape of them may be a little stylized, but I think the curlicues make sense for grape leaves. Grape vines put off little curling tendrils like that.

on second thought, perhaps fig leaves?
