Logan09 Posted March 16, 2019 Report Posted March 16, 2019 It's on both the Fuchi and Kashira(theyre pretty worn away)Photo of menuki as well. Anyone know what this signifies? Thanks. Quote
Ray Singer Posted March 16, 2019 Report Posted March 16, 2019 These appear to be two additional kamon. For example... Quote
Logan09 Posted March 17, 2019 Author Report Posted March 17, 2019 Thanks Ray! I did a search of them and didn't realize there were that many used. Seems like a long search to try and find the correct one. Quote
SteveM Posted March 17, 2019 Report Posted March 17, 2019 The one on the fuchi/kashira looks like ginger (a common motif on kamon) 組み合い角に抱き茗荷 (kumiaikaku ni daki myōga) ginger shoots in intertwined squares https://www.kamon18.com/cart/goodslist.cgi?in_kate=12-4248 The one Ray linked to (which is the one on your menuki, or some variation of it) is called hanabishi which is a kind of poppy, and also is a common motif on kamon. http://www.harimaya.com/o_kamon1/zukan2/hanabisi.html 2 Quote
Logan09 Posted March 17, 2019 Author Report Posted March 17, 2019 Wow, thanks Steve! Would've most likely taken me hours to find that(that's if I could've) Quote
