The family crest of the Hosokawa family is an extraordinarily modern looking logo called "The Nine Planets" which are actually "The Nine Grahas" taken from Indian cosmology according to the Asian Art Museum's entertaining new blog site (click here).
The crest is embedded on everything from sword hilts...
...to enameled pottery.
Besides the displays of samurai related arms and armor...
...there are collections of monster screens...
...masks from the Noh theatre...
...and clothing that actually made me covetous...
...for its sheer beauty.
