Fujimoto
Fujimoto or 藤本 comes from Fuji (藤) or Wisteria in English and moto (本) meaning base or root. The wisteria flower stands for Honor, Patience, Longevity, Love, and Victory over hardship. The flower itself is a climbing flower with its petals radiating out from the vine. It is every expanding spreading its beauty and lives a very long time making it part of history in families.

Japanese Culture
As symbols of love in the Japanese kabuki drama Fuji Musume (Wisteria Maiden), The Wisteria Maiden is depicted in a painting holding a wisteria branch, until one day she becomes smitten with a young man and steps out of the painting in an effort to capture his attention. Unfortunately, her attempts are futile. Her loves goes unrequited, and she sorrowfully steps back into the two-dimensional world of her lonely painting, still holding her weeping wisteria. Here the wisteria meaning and symbolism speaks of love lost, but also of the ability for the heart to endure in spite of rejection. In other words, here the weeping wisteria expresses sorrow, but it is also an incredibly durable vine, able to live (even flourish) through mistreatment and harsh conditions.

The Kyu ranks are for the Kohai and are awarded for each week of membership in the family. The Dan ranks are given to members who have proven themselves in the Kyu ranks or other activities and are for the Senpai in the family and are given a Kohai of a corresponding Kyu rank thus the most experienced Senpai have the least experienced Kohai. They may also be awarded by the family Kumicho if one has proven himself in other activities. Progression through the Dan ranks is awarded by merit as they carry great weight to them. The Fukusho is named by the Kumicho. The Kumicho or the family head is founder of the family and is responsible for running and organizing the family.
