queensthiefI bought the Japanese versions of the books recently and posted some photos of the GORGEOUS art here:

avian_xj has graciously offered to make icons from some of the images, so we've been looking at them quite closely. Now, QoA and KoA are divided into two volumes each, and most of the images are easy to figure out, but we are stumped as to what the title page of the second KoA volume is a picture of.
Suggestions? Guesses? Is is an instrument, a hairbrush, ????? Give us some ideas : )
and, just because, who else would love to have mwt sign their book with her japanese name?

Date: 10/30/07 11:42 pm (UTC)You mentioned that the pictures corresponded to the chapters they match up to...? What happens in the chapter with that picture?

Date: 10/31/07 01:02 am (UTC)Maybe a slightly indistinct reference to Dite's songs? Seems a bit of a stretch. Wouldn't you want a sword or something for the second half of KoA?

Date: 10/31/07 02:10 am (UTC)Have we considered the possibility that it's just a small piece of sculpture?

Date: 10/31/07 03:31 am (UTC)yea maybe in refrence to activities on the wedding nightIt seems big for a brooch compared to the ring

Date: 10/31/07 03:56 am (UTC)I also did have in mind a minature trinket of some kind, thus ducking the scaling problem.
That being said, I think the hand mirror or lamp idea is much more useful.

Date: 10/31/07 03:59 am (UTC)Still, a poor choice for the wedding night as well - I would have used an ink jar.

Date: 10/31/07 04:05 am (UTC)A trinket would be nice, but I'm leaning more and more towards a lamp every time I look at it.
Weird.

Date: 10/31/07 04:42 am (UTC)I read Japanese very well contextually. ^_^ Sorry, not related to the object, I don't think.
I immediately thought it was a hand-mirror on a stand. I really can't say at all for other ideas, though.

Date: 10/31/07 05:02 am (UTC)It looks like it could be sort of hollow, though... COULD it be a sort of ink-holding thingy? That looks really weird/interesting/scary?
That, my friends,

Re: That, my friends,
Date: 10/31/07 07:57 pm (UTC)I thought it might be an ink jar, too, when I saw it. And it would be appropriate.
