Help on motif of menuki and tsuba with observations or opinions.

Thank you in advance for your time.

Leonard, well the Menuki are easy [I think?] Myoga - gingerplant, used for food and incorporated as a family/clan Mon. The other leaves are hard to make out, this is the first time that magnifying the image makes it smaller on NMB.

Likewise with the tsuba it is difficult [for old eyes] to see the details but it could represent birds in the sky [those two little cross links top right and bottom left]. Also Sun and Moon? The Moon being the small circle and the Sun tucked in under the hitsu? The wavy line spokes either clouds in the sky or sun rays [though most sun rays are represented as straight lines] JMO
