The theme of this pair of Menuki is Ichiro Heian, Bon Voyage, a Heron on a boat. The meaning of the scene is the heron standing on a boat must be stable and not rocking. In the Edo Period ships were used for transportation. So the heron standing on a boat means 'Bon Voyage' a safe trip; Ichiro Heian in Japanese. |
