Hi Guys, I hope all is well. Have this motif where the dragon is holding a shoe. I was told that the story has something to do with the Warrior (on the Kozuka) throws his shoe at the dragon and the dragon then allows the warrior to ride him.... something along those lines. Any takers? Belongs to my recently acquired Muramasa.
