Ron STL Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 The motif used on a split-kogai currently under study needs to be identified. Does anyone have an idea what this motif is and what it is related to (story behind it)? Thanks Quote
Marius Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 A scarecow, I suppose. I think Ford Hallam (or someone else) has posted a tsuba with this motif. Quote
IanB Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 Mariusz, Ron, Nope. We did scarecrows a while ago. This time it is a toy figure that balances on a stretched string or whatever. The little figure has long wires on either side with weights on each end that lower the centre of gravity below the figure's contact point with the string so it cannot fall off. What they are called, either in English or Japanese I have no idea. Ian Bottomley Quote

k morita Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 Hi, I also recalled the past thread on NMB when i saw this wari-kogai. The motif is "yajirobei" a balancing toy. Quote
