Saito Hoodies
Description: The Saito clan (斎藤) was a Japanese samurai kin group from Echizen Province. The clan claimed descent from Fujiwara Toshihito. Saito Dosan (1494–1556) was the father-in-law of Oda Nobunaga. Dosan was attacked by his own son, Saito Yoshitatsu, and died in battle. Later, the son of Yoshitatsu, Tatsuoki was defeated by Oda Nobunaga in 1564, and the clan disappeared. This is the kamon (family crest) of the Saito clan, Ni-to nami (二頭波) or “Double head wave”. Below the crest is “Saito” in kanji.
