piryohae3 Posted September 29, 2020 Report Posted September 29, 2020 It looks like fire, probably some kind of saka choji variant but it doesn't have the usual clove look. Whatever it is, I really like it and haven't seen it before. Quote
16k Posted September 30, 2020 Report Posted September 30, 2020 Yes, a variant of sake choji would be my guess too. Let’s see the pro at work. Quote

vajo Posted September 30, 2020 Report Posted September 30, 2020 typical a ko-choji midare with nie clusters and deep ashi. Looks like a ichimonji utushi for me. 1 Quote
Nihonto Otaku Posted October 1, 2020 Report Posted October 1, 2020 https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/word/kanji/逆/#jn-54100 both "saka" and "gyaku" are the pronunciation for 逆. Quote
