Patterns on Fuchi and Kashira

[Bungo]

not sure if someone posted this example yet ( there's 10 pages to scroll through !! ).............but here's a daisho tsuba with the pattern, see how the kiku and kiri blend in with the design ?

40,000円.......... there's some kanji following the yen ( at the site ), does it mean it has a reserve ?

Never mind the bloody pattern........am I hallucinating or has that geisha got a set of knackers?

according to ukyo-e convention............. the cross dresser ( Tokugawa shogunate forbid real ladies to be part of the kabuki playas ) wore a piece of " oval shape " cloth over the forehead.

I don't see such headgear so i assume she is a she.....................

 

all it takes is 36.00 + bucks to win the auction and you can examine the entanglement and figure out what belongs to whom............

I have never understood the fascination for such contorted sex that appears in these prints, okimono, netsuke and the like. I know in the cold season that the charcoal brazier barely kept you from freezing (only heat in the more remote sections of China0 but the issue of most of these depictions being clothed in delecto, so to speak always made me feel that the husband was expected home any second.

actually I am wondering when OUR board censor will be " coming home "

Hi Milt, Yeah there are some less clothed, must be summer!!! Illustrates why it was the floating world. The artists had to be on something to have such spatial distortion. It seems those artistic types liked to hang around these places Chapel St., London, Moulin Rouge, Left Bank, Paris, French Quarter, New Orleans, USA etc. John

He's hoooome.....

 

 

I think we are mostly adult enough to handle these subjects (right Milt?) but I must add that if there is anyone who finds this offensive, then pm me and I'll take it down. It is Japanese art, and (was) on topic..but let's not go purposefully looking for vintage porn if we can help it?

Here's yet another one from the latest issue of the NBTHK's magazine:

 

 

I'm getting sick of this bloody pattern!

hi

 

yes i think it's clearly "off pattern" tsuba and this on also

[sencho]

Not "off pattern" at all....

 

this is a "RAIMON" 雷文 pattern and is the subject of the original post in combination with "SAYAGATA" 紗綾形 pattern of interlocking manji...

 

Cheers!

in that case, I will post the pics of the other side of the tsuba ( I got this through a trade since no one seems to like to spend $ anymore )

 

The vertical line , according to the previous owner, is a sword cut.

Last week was graduation time here in Japan and many young ladies were wearing the traditional combination of long sleeved kinono and hakama for their graduation ceremonies.

 

One particularly beautiful girl was wearing a stunning kimono with the pattern that originally inspired this thread.

I was itching to take a photo but A: the wife was with me and B: I knew I'd just look like a dirty old man taking pictures of gorgeous girls!

 

So, sorry guys....no picture

Hi Simon, I've been to a few ceremonies that involved traditional kimono but have never attended graduation ceremonies. I've seen women wear hakama in the dojo but never anywhere else. Is this a standard practise or a new thing? John

Though its pattern is not Sayagata, the style is like this.

[Bungo]

sure looks wayyyyyyyyyyy better than the girls with their prom dress in Alabama.

 

Thanks, good pic.

p.s. Simon, now go self- flagellate for not courageous enough to take the pic.

Onward to page 13 with over 10,000 served !!

Hi Koichi-san, Thanks for the pic. That seems familiar but never really noticed they were hakama. I must say I prefer kimono on women without them. John

[Guest Simon Rowson]

Hi John,

 

The hakama worn by female graduates seems to be one-piece like a skirt, rather than divided, which would make sense as they have to fit a long, very expensive kimono inside it.

For obvious reasons I didn't approach any of the young ladies and ask them to lift their hakama for me "for research purposes"!!

 

I've flaggelated myself as requested Milt and, by way of apology, here is a pic of two "Gothic Lolita's" at Harajuku (that I wasn't too shy to photograph).

 

 

A little off topic Brian I know, but I have to keep the guys happy wherever possible! :D

 

Simon

[Bungo]

for 10,000 beans you took that pic.............. go flagellate some more.

p.s. page 13 yet ?

milt the ronin

[Guest Simon Rowson]

Don't know about the beans Milt but I just sent you another pic as a PM.......way too off topic for this (or any other) thread!

 

Enjoy,

Simon

Hi,

 

The theme of the pic seems to be Jiraiya (児雷也) and his wife Tsunade (綱手) of a Kabuki program.

 

FYI; Jiraiya
