TETSUGENDO Posted June 1, 2019 Report Posted June 1, 2019 Jeremiah, It's a very fine example, as always GOOD rabbits are not at all common and never cheap.....it can be had for 3000 USD. -S- p.s.-size is approx. 62.5mm in diameter. Quote
Vermithrax16 Posted June 1, 2019 Author Report Posted June 1, 2019 They are attached to this sword and it's not cheap:http://www.sword-auction.jp/en/content/as18517%E5%88%80%EF%BC%9A%E5%A4%A7%E5%92%8C%E5%AE%88%E5%AE%89%E5%AE%9A-katana-yamato-kami-yasusada Nice blade, maybe worth follow up work.

Ken-Hawaii Posted June 1, 2019 Report Posted June 1, 2019 As far as I know, the last free-hopping rabbits were removed from Hawaii back in the 1970s, but they used to drive my mother crazy back in Phoenix, when they ate her roses. 3 Quote
Vermithrax16 Posted June 30, 2019 Author Report Posted June 30, 2019 Revive! I posted these in another thread a while ago, but the rabbit thread must go on! Silver Kaga rabbit menuki: 2 Quote
Surfson Posted June 30, 2019 Report Posted June 30, 2019 I do like those mounts at Aoi as well. Rabbits and waves. I hope that bunny can swim. Here's another with rabbits and waves - you have to look closely to find the bunnies. Maybe Richard can tell us the significance in Japanese folklore. 2 Quote
Surfson Posted June 30, 2019 Report Posted June 30, 2019 We should start threads for all of the major food groups.....I mean.....animal types! 1 Quote
Vermithrax16 Posted June 30, 2019 Author Report Posted June 30, 2019 Rabbits and waves is a folklore legend, goes back a long way.

TETSUGENDO Posted June 30, 2019 Report Posted June 30, 2019 Good reading, and what a handsome fellow....could be a relation to the 'Bunny' that started it all! So nice it's worth picturing twice. -S- 2 Quote
Vermithrax16 Posted June 30, 2019 Author Report Posted June 30, 2019 Nice StevenK! A picture I saved a long time ago for that waves/rabbit theme: Quote
TETSUGENDO Posted June 30, 2019 Report Posted June 30, 2019 From the MFA, Boston- Rabbits as Okaru and Kanpei in a Kiyomoto Danse Play of the Journey Scene (Kiyomoto Ochûdô, Okaru Kanpei). By Utagawa Yoshifuji (1873(Meiji 6), April. -S- Quote
TETSUGENDO Posted June 30, 2019 Report Posted June 30, 2019 Stephen, Always the potential 'Pot stirrer', . Classic German fare, but I suspect dining on the cuddly creatures may not be enthusiastically embraced here.....better Pfeffernusse than Hasenpfeffer. -S- Quote
Stephen Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 Steven i get a by cause i led him to his rabbit. 2 Quote
Vermithrax16 Posted July 1, 2019 Author Report Posted July 1, 2019 Steven i get a by cause i led him to his rabbit. Well you are pressing the limits! LOL Quote
Stephen Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 Hummm really? The party's over turn out the lights. Quote
Surfson Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 I have been wanting to put a bunny in the nursery here, but didn't realize that I had one until I ran across this Umetada tsuba today. I have no recollection when, where or from whom I bought it, but I'm sure it was quite a long time ago. I am adding a couple different perspectives. it is signed Yamashiro Kuni Ju, Umetada Narishige. Cheers Jeremiah, Bob 5 Quote
Surfson Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 I do too Jeremiah, the tapering around the sukashi forming the rabbit creates an optical illusion and gives it a sense of living dimension. Quote
