Why does the Mitsubishi Logo look like this?

| The Mitsubishi Group
of companies started over 100 years ago during
the Meiji Period (1867-1912). The Mitsubishi
logo came from the Tosa region (today the
region is called Kochi Prefecture), and is
actually a combination of the Three Oak Leaves
family crest of the Yamauchi Family of the
Tosa Clan, and the Three Diamonds family crest
of a samurai named Yataro Iwasaki. The present
form of the Mitsubishi logo was first used
in 1910, the 43rd year of the Meiji Period. |
