Original summary was as follows:

Japanese family crest (家紋 kamon?) . Two crossed falcon feathers. The name of the crest is (鷹の羽, takanoha) and it belongs to the family, Hidaka. There may be other families bearing similar crest.

The hawk was a symbol of a samurai in old days.

"feather of hawk" was given glory to as the decoration at the time of ceremony such as New Year's Days, and great people of a samurai were able to arrive at one's crown in old days.

That's why it is one of the family crest of arms liked most by a samurai.
