MauroP Posted September 13, 2020 Report Posted September 13, 2020 Hi Stephen, actually it's a toad. The theme is referred as Jiraiya (自来也 or 児雷也). It'a about the hero of the the folktale reported in Jiraiya Gōketsu Monogatari, who was able to morph into a gigantic toad. See Numata Kenji, Tsuba - Kodōgu Gadai Jiten, vol. 1 p. 120. 2 Quote

PietroParis Posted September 13, 2020 Report Posted September 13, 2020 I asked the person who proposed the rusu moyo (absent motif) interpretation as gama sennin what they think of Mauro’s theory. I’m curious to see how this ends. 1 Quote
Yasaka Azuma Posted September 14, 2020 Report Posted September 14, 2020 It looks like a casting, but it's fun items. I'm likely to bid involuntarily. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/t754085798 Quote
