Ancestors

Have you ever thought where you come from? Who are your ancestors? I've tried to investigate my ancestry. I can trace it until my great-grandparents without getting family registers.

Also we have family crests. The origin of family crests is believed to date from about 1,000 years ago, but ordinary people have been able use them freely since the Meiji Era (1868-1912). There are said to be more than 10,000 different family crests in Japan.

As a result, if you want to investigate your ancestry, you need to do it patiently. I think I won't fully trace it, but I have a strange feeling when I think of my ancestors. What kind of destinies they had, and what kind of destinies will I bring to my descendants? It may depend on our decisions.
