1kinko Posted January 28, 2023 Report Posted January 28, 2023 On 14 January, Dale showed pictures of several books of tosogu available online and I bought the Haynes catalogue #3. On page 14 Haynes shows a set of menuki with long whiskered, bushy tailed creatures he calls squirrels. Are there long whiskered squirrels in Japan, or was he guessing too? Quote
