this looks silly rural stuff , but it aint , but i am too lazy to datamine it is is good
, it,s one one of the japanese riddles ,
and the riddle is actually mind over matter a herd boy riding ( and probably flute ) oxen shows the power of the mind to command the body ( f.i pain )
so the brain supersedes the body , its famous philosophy
plate with enamel decoration of a boy wearing haori (short jacket) sitting on a buffalo and playing a flute. The subject is bokudo - a theme of a perfect peace of mind, and one of the stages of a journey towards Buddhahood= anthroposophical interpretation in case you thought it was is a boy on a buffalo
