Bruce Pennington Posted March 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 While I recognize the talent an art of more complex pieces, for some reason I really like these: found Here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Pennington Posted April 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Not a great work of art, but art all the same (and certainly WAY better than anything I could do!!!). Found by Thomas @Kiipu at Warrelics Here. Bob Coleman didn't believe it represented real Japanese work or art. He didn't say why, and he's no longer with us, or I'd ask. Anyone see what he was seeing, or not seeing, that made it seem Chinese to him? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed, I wonder if the left and right facing swasticas were intentional or just part of the elaborate pattern. Anyone creative enough to make that pattern likely built it around the swastikas. I learned something tonight as I didn't know the "left" and "right" facing carried different meanings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Pennington Posted April 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 At first I thought I had posted that pattern, but after looking, post 20 and 53 are similar but this is still different.
