DirkO Posted April 20, 2023 Report Posted April 20, 2023 Usually holes like that symbolize a worm eaten effect, but those aren't perfectly round. There are also exactly 2 per leaf, which can't be a coincidence. Quote

This one also has eight holes and the same general design, though not with ten-zogan. Heianjo? The repeated design must have some significance? https://www.jauce.com/auction/q1035409260 or https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/q1035409260 Quote

But still don't know what the holes are for... 😉 Quote

This one with only three leaves but it too has holes in it! https://www.jauce.com/auction/q1076485455 Described as Heian. It has line as well as dot inlay [ten-zogan] - I am starting to like this design! Quote
