Great photo essay,I felt as if I was peeking over your shoulder as you worked! You have lifted your tiger off a sheet of paper, animated him (his hair seems to bristle in the wind) and framed him in a real environment. Each is different,both wonderful.

Stephen,
Don't feel badly about loosing the Jingo you pictured as there are much better examples, just be patient and you
will prevail. I am glad to see that you continue the quest ( Parsifal swells in the background ) for Dragons. May
I suggest a Tetsugendo piece to keep the others company, they did make some fine dragons.

Cleverly the design creates- AN...TIS...CI..............PAAAATION ! I also like the less frequently used form variant. Anxiously awaiting the next installment.

Stephen,
I can hear the tsubako laughing as we contemplate the VOID. In this case, as always, the journey and destination are of equal measure. Koi or dragon being the least of it.

Stephen,
Quite an intriguing addition to the collection. Things appear to be going along well- collection looks great!

p.s.- almost forgot, GO DRAGONS !!!!!!
Bruno,
Until you are reasonably comfortable with an attribution you need to keep an open mind. Sometimes choice number three is the most likely answer. Best luck in your research.
