JapanX Posted March 4, 2014 Author Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Stunning miniatures Lars! P'alwaejang is a 4th class badge ;) Edited March 4, 2014 by JapanX
paul wood Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Marvellous Lars, while Japanese miniatures are not easy to come by Imperial Korean are super rare. PAul
larsb001 Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 I assumed you'd like them. Nick, thanks for the class identification of the Korean one, just curious, is the class determined by the center trigram, meaning each class would have a different one (8 in total as I understand things although I'm not so familiar with the concept) or is class determined by something else? /Lars
JapanX Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) I assumed you'd like them. Your assumption was correct is the class determined by the center trigram, meaning each class would have a different one (8 in total as I understand things although I'm not so familiar with the concept) or is class determined by something else? By central trigram + by inscription on reverse. In case of your miniature - only by trigram Here they are (from 1st class to 8th class) ☰ ☱ ☲ ☳ ☴ ☵ ☶ ☷ + original line drawing for 4th class Edited March 6, 2014 by JapanX

larsb001 Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 As allways, when I learn something new about things, the recent addition to my collection became much more interesting. Thanks alot for the info, Nick
