The symbol said to be taken from the Japanese character "Komaru", meaning "overcoming difficulties". According to the Noritake company tradition this mark was designed when meeting the different culture of the west causing many problems, also known as the "tree crest mark" which is the clan crest of the Morimura family. The curled up ends of the Komaru symbol distinguish this mark from later versions.
