Swallowtail butterfly T-Shirt

This design was created with reference to the 'Japanese Crest Large Illustrated Book' and the 'Ageha Butterfly Crest Pattern and Training Text' contained within the 'Kyoto Crest Uwa-e-shi' (March 28, 2013). 'Fushicho' refers to a state where the wings are held horizontally, whereas 'Agehacho' refers to a state where the wings are raised. The 'Ageha Butterfly' that appears in family crests is generally not the same as the swallowtail butterfly. It was surprising to learn that the Ageha Butterfly in patterns and the swallowtail butterfly in biology are different. It was also surprising to discover that the name of the pattern is distinguished by whether the wings are raised or lowered. (From 'Exploring Family Crests' by Keiichi Morimoto)
