neutral scenes of flowers, animals, scenery.
The first task is to locate the Japanese equivalent of the Phoenix -
the Ho-Oo? Then consider its meaning, and any relevance that might
have for the engraver.
The answer might be a 'yes,' but I don't think the Japanese myth
includes the aspect of rising from the ashes as we have it in the west?
