CALONTIR returns

Kitsumi Hisamoto. Device. Per pale sable and Or, a bladed katabami counterchanged Or and gules.

This device is returned for conflict with the device of Maryan Blacke of York, Per pale sable and Or, a trefoil counterchanged, and with the device of Deirdre ingean Dhomhnaill, Per pale sable and Or, a trillium inverted gules barbed vert. In each both cases there is a DC for changing the tincture of the primary charge, but none for the difference between types of three-petaled flowers.

In the return of this submitter’s previous submission we called the primary charge “a katabami, a stylized wood sorrel leaf found in Japanese kamon”. This is only partially correct. Further research has shown that an unmodified katabami does not have the swords between the petals. This particular depiction in Japanese is called tsurigi katabami, “Sword Wood Sorrel”, which we will blazon as bladed katabami, similar to how we blazon bladed sharp flowers, another Japanese charge. The “blades” are a decorative detail not worth difference.
