Stephen Posted September 11, 2020 Report Posted September 11, 2020 Im sure you all see two plants i was wondering if anyone sees a koi on each side? 1 Quote
Japan2112 Posted September 11, 2020 Report Posted September 11, 2020 Steohen, Very nice tsuba. I am feeling iris, but not the kakitsubata as is usually depicted. Koi..... maybe, but I would expect them swimming in opposite direction? A bit bold - Owari? Mark Quote
Brian Posted September 11, 2020 Report Posted September 11, 2020 Once you mentioned it, I easily see them. Dunno if intentional, but yes..they are there Quote
Babu Posted September 11, 2020 Report Posted September 11, 2020 This would only work if you could interpret the rest if the design as water which I do not feel you can . It is too organic and plant like. Owari is my guess as well. Quote
MauroP Posted September 11, 2020 Report Posted September 11, 2020 More like chōji (cloves), which is coherent with plants. 1 Quote
Shugyosha Posted September 11, 2020 Report Posted September 11, 2020 Are they depictions of cloves and foliage? Quote
Stephen Posted September 11, 2020 Author Report Posted September 11, 2020 Im sure plants are intended. Tks for the clove heads up. Koi swim in schools so same direction. Quote
Japan2112 Posted September 11, 2020 Report Posted September 11, 2020 I will have to look longer into the koi pond. Quote
Stephen Posted September 11, 2020 Author Report Posted September 11, 2020 Shop koi on ebay it will come to you. My latest pick up Quote
Japan2112 Posted September 11, 2020 Report Posted September 11, 2020 I sure can see the koi likeness, but would expect a tail? Quote
