"All certified dollmakers have their personal crests, which their dolls carry. The crests are decorated with the dollmaker's signature flower, and are traditionally placed in a central position on their dolls' bodies.
For living dolls made to hold a ghost inside them, the crest is placed around the seal keeping it sealed inside the doll. This is done to symbolize the agreement between dollmaker and ghost, for the ghost to serve the dollmaker and the dollmaker to help the ghost be relieved from their burdens."
