This is a little something I've just started to experiment with.

 

As and when I get interesting pieces in my studio I may, with the owner's permission, do similar little explanatory film clips.

And I'll get the close up focussing sorted as I get better at this sort of filming.

Hi Guido,  apparently the figures are from a Kabuki play depicting the Chinese sage Huangshi Gong on Horseback and the Chinese warrior Zhang Lian mounted on a dragon. I was going to talk about that when I do the next bit ;-)

 

Hmmm, maybe. But a lesser known kabuki scene on a fuchigashira?

 

Well, I can't be always right (although I usually am :laughing:).

This is from 'The Art Appreciation of Japanese Sword Fittings' by Shigeo Fukushi, page 50 and I believe it is the theme Ford mentioned:

Sorry for the distortion on the left page but scanning this is difficult without damaging the binding.
