k morita Posted September 16, 2012 Report Posted September 16, 2012 棋 ( "ki" ) means Igo and Shogi. Do you know Igo or Shogi game? Quote
Henry Wilson Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Posted September 16, 2012 Thank you so much Morita San. Is this the game? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_%28game%29 Quote
k morita Posted September 16, 2012 Report Posted September 16, 2012 Yes, the game Go. :D And also, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shogi Quote
Henry Wilson Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Posted September 16, 2012 Thank you again. Here is were the kanji came from; Quote
k morita Posted September 16, 2012 Report Posted September 16, 2012 Probably, it is one of the sculpture series about noble people's life. It is the Go-board which the little girl(or boy) has. (?) :D Quote
Henry Wilson Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Posted September 16, 2012 Thank you once again Morita San. Yes, the child is carrying what looks like a Go board. Is the sculpture series your refer to documented any where? This is very intriguing. Regards Quote
k morita Posted September 16, 2012 Report Posted September 16, 2012 Hi, "sculpture series" is my impression. It is unnatural only 棋"Ki". Probably 囍(Joyness) ,福(happiness,fortune),奏(play of a musical instrument) etc. will exist. Quote
Henry Wilson Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Posted September 16, 2012 Yet again, thank you very much. Quote
Nobody Posted September 16, 2012 Report Posted September 16, 2012 As a guess; kinki shoga (琴棋書画) Ref. http://www.aisf.or.jp/~jaanus/deta/k/kinkishoga.htm Quote
Henry Wilson Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Posted September 16, 2012 Nobody, thank you very much. That is very interesting... Quote
