Chestnut (kuri). The Japanese for dried chestnut is kachiguri which shares the sound of the word for victory, kachi, and had special meaning for warriors of the feudal period. Associated with the ceremonies of troops departing for battle and returning home in triumph, it was ultimately adopted as an auspicious mon (family crest).
