In 1595 he was granted the title "Tamba no Kami," which was also given to his first son in 1639, and to his second son who lived in Osaka in the 1640s. From the second generation onward, the Kyoto family carved a sixteen-petal chrysanthemum crest on the tangs of their blades. Only swordsmiths approved by the emperor were given the right to use the chrysanthemum mark on their blades. The kikumon has been used by the Japanese imperial families since the Kamakura period. Kiku means chrysanthemum, which is the national flower of Japan. It was also used at shrines related to the emperor.
