Yamatorige - Feathers of A Copper Pheasant
Somewhere high above
the most precariously placed
of snow-capped peaks,
bathed in those long golden
shadows of Fuji ..
She first came into our view
as if in slow motion
and began to carve a series
of near perfect circles,
figure of eights and a single
double helix with just
the tip of outstretched wings ..

A samurai sword? An ancient katana perhaps? If this is about what I am
thinking, it's a great metaphor for the yamatorige. And if it's about theÂ
flight of a pheasant, then it's beautifully described. Either way,
you win, Neville.  BÂ
You evidently know something about the subject Bernadete ..
Yamatorige takes its name variously from the loose translations 1) 'Feather of a Mountain Bird' and 2) 'Feathers of a Copper Pheasant'
so take your pick ..
I just missed seeing it on display when I was last in Japan and think
it was either being re-polished or something ..
I hope to see it in 2027 when I next visit ..
Kindest Regards, NevilleÂ
Not only a beautiful and uplifting read but perfectly explained in the comments too.
