Dakigyoyo is a type of Japanese family crest, "Kyouhamon". It is believed to be a stylized harness of apricot leaves. The figure shows the shape of two half wreaths of apricot leaves curving inward and towards each other at the top. It is often confused, due to resemblance, with the Myoga family crest, but there are differences in the presence or absence of veins and other insignificant shapes. The center space between the leaves in the Otomo crest is generally egg-shaped at the bottom, extending upward to create the impression of a peacock's body with the leaves forming the feathers. The Myoga crest on the other hand has a central space between the leaves which is generally pear or teardrop-shaped capped with a cross-like standard (although this center shape is most likely intended to look like the bud of the myoga plant (Zingiber mioga) with the flower petals just pushing through the tip of the bud). This kyouhamon was mainly used by Lord Otomo Bungo and his family as well as Lord Ryuzoji who took his lands and crest in battle and Lord Nabeshima who succeeded Lord Ryuzoji.
