They were used in kumikō, a japanese ceremony/game about guessing different types of incense by smell. The number of all combinations of five elements is 52, but I reproduced the 54 symbols used to mark the Genji monogatari chapters, which contain the same symbol in two variations and a made-up one as well. I did the font because I think it was perfect for Fontstruct. But if you need something more polished, and in four different styles, there is it.Font%20representing%20the%20Genji-mon%20%28so%20called%20because%20they%20were%20used%20to%20mark%20each%20chapter%20of%20the%20world%E2%80%99s%20first%20novel%2C%20the%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FThe_Tale_of_Genji%22%3E%3Ci%3EGenji%20monogatari%3C%2Fi%3E%3C%2Fa%3E%29%2C%20a%20system%20of%20symbols%20which%20indicate%20all%20the%20possible%20groupings%20and%20subgroupings%20of%20five%20elements.%0D%0AThey%20were%20used%20in%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FK%C5%8Dd%C5%8D%22%3Ekumik%C5%8D%3C%2Fa%3E%2C%20a%20japanese%20ceremony%2Fgame%20about%20guessing%20different%20types%20of%20incense%20by%20smell.%0D%0AThe%20number%20of%20all%20combinations%20of%20five%20elements%20is%2052%2C%20but%20I%20reproduced%20the%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FFile%3AGenji_chapter_symbols_groupings_of_5_elements.svg%22%3E54%20symbols%20used%20to%20mark%20the%20Genji%20monogatari%20chapters%3C%2Fa%3E%2C%20which%20contain%20the%20same%20symbol%20in%20two%20variations%20and%20a%20made-up%20one%20as%20well.%0D%0AI%20did%20the%20font%20because%20I%20think%20it%20was%20perfect%20for%20Fontstruct.%20But%20if%20you%20need%20something%20more%20polished%2C%20and%20in%20four%20different%20styles%2C%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fansuz.sooke.bc.ca%2Fentry%2F132%22%3Ethere%20is%20it%3C%2Fa%3E.
