We are all familiar with the Shihou Karigane - "Wild Geese in Four Directions". We see it on Owari and early Akasaka tsuba.

 

Is there also a name (and meaning) given to the variant seen in Akasaka of three geese flying Counter Clockwise and one Clockwise?

I see this once in a while and wonder about it.  I'll give two image examples - this variant, and the more familiar Shihou Karigane.

 

Thank you,

Mark
