Mon \Mon\ (m[o^]n), noun [Jap., usually translated as crest.] (Japan) The badge of a family, esp. of a family of the ancient feudal nobility.

It appears on lacquer and pottery, and embroidered on, or woven in, fabrics. The imperial chrysanthemum, the mon of the reigning family, is used as a national emblem. Formerly the mon of the shoguns of the Tokugawa family was so used. [Webster 1913 Suppl.]
