Iris + mugwort (yomogi+shobu). Steve nailed it fairly fast, and Peter posted a writeup that I didn't even know existed. Top marks to both of you. This little session went down a lot faster than I thought. If work allows, I will post another one tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanoNox Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 It may be pure coincidence, but the reading shoubu is the same for both 菖蒲 (Japanese iris) and 勝負 (victory and defeat, fight). I do remember that there are several items with puns in them (like a natsume with exactly 6 gourds drawn on it, called "mubyoutan" 六瓢箪, with mubyou 無病 also meaning "disease free", as a charm for good health). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
