SHICHO= three servants
The fifth tier, between the plants, holds three helpers or samurai as the protectors of the Emperor and Empress. From left to right (viewer's perspective):
1. Maudlin drinker
2. Cantankerous drinker and
3. Merry drinker
They represent the 3 initial human reactions.. delight, sadness and anger
Their faces are great. You look like you have started your own museum!
Thank you Vesta..every corner of my house have dolls (except the bathroom nd the kitchen). Ill post more dolls soon.
