This is our crest from our wedding. It is a local Japanese custom in Hawaii to have 1001 origami cranes made into a traditional family crest or now days, into pictures and displayed at the reception. The center is a bride and groom and the crane and bamboo symbol long life. The characters in the center above the house mean double happiness.
