vajo Posted February 13, 2018 Report Posted February 13, 2018 This plant motif is discribed as kiri plant. For me it doesn't look like paulownia. It looks more like fern or something else? Quote
Robert Mormile Posted February 13, 2018 Report Posted February 13, 2018 Chris, This plant is known as "Sotetsu" and grows in the southern part of Kyushu and the islands. (Rotate the photo 180 degrees if possible.) Thank you. Robert Quote
John A Stuart Posted February 13, 2018 Report Posted February 13, 2018 It does look like a sago palm. I don't think I've seen that portrayed on tousogu before. John Quote

vajo Posted February 13, 2018 Author Report Posted February 13, 2018 Oh wow gents. Thank you very much for knowing it. Never thought that this could be a palm. I search and search and didn't found anything what would fit to that plant. Something learned again. Thanks Robert that direction looks better and more clear now i know what it is. The fuchi make sense now. Quote
