犬坂毛野 (Inusaka Keno / いぬさか けの)He holds a crystal prayer bead with ‘智’ engraved on it. (智 : chi meaning ‘Wise‘) 南総里見八犬伝(Nansō Satomi Hakkenden / なんそうさとみはっけんでん / Tale of the Eight Dogs) *八犬伝 (Hakkenden) is the largest full-length novel in Japan, written by 曲亭馬琴 (Kyokutei Bakin) in the Yedo period. The story begins when the lord of 安房国 (Awa Province) was in a tight spot during a war and played a joke on his dog 八房 (Yatsufusa). As promised by Yatsufusa, the lord's daughter 伏姫 (Fuse-hime) begins to live with him in the mountains. When Fuse-hime died, her crystal prayer beads (engraved with the words “仁・義・礼・智・忠・信・孝・悌") scattered in the sky. In later years, the 八犬士(Hakkenshi), whose surname includes the Chinese character for “犬( dog)” appeared and played a variety of roles. *Title : 里見八犬子之内 犬坂毛野 胤智(Satomi Hakkenshi no uchi Inusaka Keno Tanetomo / さとみはっけんしのうち いぬさかけの たねとも) Author : 一勇斎 国芳 / Ichiyūsai Kuniyoshi *Note: I used data from The Metropolitan Museum of Art and made color corrections. *Any of my designs can be transferred to over a thousand other items and adjust the design to fit the product if you needed.
