kissakai Posted March 10, 2021 Report Posted March 10, 2021 Can anyone tell me the theme of these menuki I though they were shells but that is wrong 1 Quote
Kurikata Posted March 10, 2021 Report Posted March 10, 2021 Kai-awase (貝合わせ) is a Japanese game with shells. The shells in the inside would have elaborate paintings, often depicting scenes from the Tale of Genji.[1] The aim of the game was to find the other half that would fit. 2 Quote
Geraint Posted March 10, 2021 Report Posted March 10, 2021 In this case are the designs inside the shell not Genji chapter mon? All the best. Quote
