Hi All,
I seeking assistance in understanding a rice paper depiction or story. I picked up in Northern VietNam many years ago. I understood it to be of Chinese origin and I thought it to be a Buddhist Monks Parasol, however I am not sure as I am not able to decipher the symbols although some seem to be similar to i Ching in style.
If any one would like t assist me in discovering it’s true meaning please email me and I will send an image of the depiction for your kind consideration.
Kindest regards,
Rob Markby
What you list as trisula would be known in Pali of SE Asia as nandiyavatta. Thus I think you name is not correct.

JL, it sounds like a you’re describing a Fenghuang and a Lung. The Fenghuang has feminine connotations, and the Lung has masculine connotations. If it is Japanese, then perhaps it is an expression of the wishes for the blessing of Amaterasu-okamisama.
