I must say...Thanks for this excellent contribution. I must say I thought the mounds were lily leaves, but the cultural information on turtles is very welcome regardless.Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05928856244435629755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3487981537898652667.post-28251315065909551812021-05-23T17:11:45.387+01:002021-05-23T17:11:45.387+01:00I like his work. Your discussion of the first pic...I like his work. Your discussion of the first picture was so well done, it led to longer looking at it. The two mounds at the bottom look to me like turtle shells. The turtle is another symbolic animal in Japanese culture. <br /><br />The turtle is associated with longevity and wisdom (!). But also with protection. Part of the magic of turtles is to bring heaven and earth together - the dome of the sky is the shell's top; the bottom of the shell is the earth. Is he protected from falling since he stands on the turtles?<br /><br />Finally, there may be some word play going on here. The word for the glans of the penis is made up of two words: turtle and head. <br /><br />Great work!!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12328214609279383062noreply@blogger.com
