Ryu Kamon Engraving
Figure
Dragon - 「竜」 in Japanese
In ancient Japan, people often made offerings to dragons because they believed they were responsible for sending rain down to Earth. Dragons also symbolize strength and power and one would think that many warriors would have adopted a dragon as their emblem.
Interestingly, however, the Ryu mon is a rather rare insignia with only about 40 known variations, most of which were actually used by temples.
The Tenryu-ji and Nanzen-ji temples in Kyoto both use the same, but symmetrically opposed, Ama-ryu (rain dragon) design.

How to Order - Service Description-
Select your Kamon size
1.5 cm fits on all weapons and is fairly small for a Kamon. We recommend this size only for Kamon with few details. Fits all weapons, including 24 mm Jo.
2 cm can be considered as standard. It fits on most weapons, except on the thinnest weapons such as the 24 mm Jo.
2.5 cm is fairly big and will not fit on thin Koryu Bokken, Tanto, Bo, Hanbo, and Jo.
If the selected size is too big for the ordered weapon, the Kamon will be adapted to the maximum engravable size. - Select your Kamon design
