Willow Pattern
Willow Pattern explanation?
Does anyone know the real story behind this pattern because there are many variations on the web! I thought I had some of the tattooed and he wanted to know all the symbolism behind the images! Thank you.
It is a love story, it was once a wealthy mandarin, who had a beautiful daughter, Koong-se. She fell in love with Chang, a humble accountant, making her cruel father angrily. He dismissed the young man and built a high fence around his house to keep the lovers apart. You can see the fence at the bottom of a plate. Mandarin is planning to marry his daughter to a powerful duke. Arrangements went ahead and the Duke arrived by boat to claim his bride, bearing a jewelry box gift. The wedding was to take place the day the flower fell from the willow tree. You can see his boat to the left of the willow tree. Chang, however, was not discouraged. On the eve of marriage Koong-Se at Duke, a mysterious, disguised as a servant slipped into the palace unnoticed. It was Chang. As the lovers escaped, the alarm was raised. They ran on deck, you can see the bottom of the drawing. The first is Koong-Se, Chang is then carrying the box of jewels. Then comes the Mandarin give chase, whip in hand. They finally escaped Security isolated island in the upper left of the plate, where they lived happily for years. But one day the Duke learned of their refuge. Still thirst for revenge, he sent soldiers, who captured Chang and Koong-Se and put them to death. The gods, moved by their plight, transformed the lovers into a pair doves doves ... you can see flying in the sky at the top of the Willow Pattern.
