Does anyone know how long that family crest has been around? Do all families have one or only "older" families? Or can you create one if you don't have one?

 

I remember watching a program discussing about the family crest. If I am not mistaken it said you can make your own if you don't have one. Here's the link if you are interested:

So I dug around a bit for Hanyu family crest and came upon this explanation for the origin of the family name. Is this correct? 

(link) : 

Quote

清和天皇の子孫で源姓を賜った氏（清和源氏）、桓武天皇の子孫で平の姓を賜った家系である平氏（桓武平氏）千葉氏流、中臣鎌足が天智天皇より賜ったことに始まる氏（藤原氏）秀郷流、中臣氏（太古以来の大族。天児屋根命が始祖。主として神事、祭事を司る）などにもみられる。種子島家に仕える臣下にもみられる。関東地方に多く見られる。埴生（はにう、はにゅう）からの転化、埴とは土のことである。

So it's supposedly a very very old family name?

I'm sure all photographers have bad photos of him somewhere, the astonishing bit is they actually published this one. XD

He's what, getting up from mid-bow?

Guess there's a reason that this workshop was certified as a national treasure!

Exquisite workmanship is not something you find easily.
