The family crest was originally created from the pattern that the emperor and the royal family put on the kimono, and the pattern was made into a fixed pattern, and the one attached to his own oxcart is said to be the beginning of the family crest. The warlords drew large crests on the flag-fingers, used to distinguish enemy views on the battlefield, and used by the generals to determine which warlords were active and how much.

Numata Castle is a castle surrounded by several guard castles. Built as residence of Numata Clan, then it served as a base for Sanada Clan control of Numata district from the late Sengoku Warlord Period to the early Edo Period. It was a castle with a five-structure main keep and three structure Yagura (turret) in Honmaru at its peak. During the reign of Sanada Clan, Honmaru and other facilities were maintained, and "Uma-dashi"(system for defense to prevent invasion of enemies) was held in front of the Ninomaru Koguchi (entrance)
