A small translation 2012/9/20 06:58
I have recently acquired a Yukata, on this one was displayed a family crest called a Kamon (If I'm not wrong).

The responsible seller was although unable to remember the name of this Kamon and advised an internet search. The only results I have been able to find is a list of many Kamon in Japanese. The number is 78.

Could someone help me translate the name under the symbol please ?

That is not a family name, but just the name of the design, which says "daki myoga." Myoga is a plant, often called Japanese ginger, and it is a design of a myoga sprout hugged or held from both sides. A single design can be used by many families of different ancestry, so this does not lead you to one family name.

Whoops, I retread your question, and noticed that you were looking for the crest name, not the family's name, so I guess I gave you the answer you were looking for.
