Lot 1105 | Ein Paar Goto Kenjo Menuki, Japan, 16./17. Jhdt.
Ein Paar Menuki aus Shakudo mit fein reliefiertem Dekor aus Krabben (Kani) vor Bambus (Take). Länge je 3,7 cm.
Das seltene Motiv könnte eine Anspielung auf das Heike Monogatari sein. Laut diesem Epos sollen viele Krieger des in der Seeschlacht von Dan-no-ura am 25. April 1185 besiegten Klans der Heike gemeinsam mit ihrem Anführer kollektiven Selbstmord begangen haben, indem sie sich im Meer ertränkten, bevor sie vom Feind gefangen oder getötet werden konnten. Mit der Zeit entstand der Volksglaube, dass die Krabben Reinkarnationen der toten Heike-Krieger seien, da deren Rückenpanzer wie die Somen oder Mempo der toten Heike-Krieger aussehen.
