## 虎次（トラツグ） : Tora-tsugu

### **Old Male Names**

I suppose that Tora-tsugu came from a Japanese name of the scaly thrush, 虎鶫(トラツグミ[Tora-tsugumi]). 虎(トラ[Tora]) means the tiger. 次(ツグ[Tsugu]) for male names usually means succession.

It is the same usage of 継(ツグ[Tsugu]) of 言継(トキツグ[Toki-tsugu]) whom I introduced in Log@Kyoto 1569, known for his diary "言継卿記:Tokitsugu-kyo Ki (Diary of Tokitsugu YAMASHINA).

次 is also used for another meaning of "next, second", when it is read with Chinese-like sound ジ[Ji] in male names, such as 次郎(じろう[Ji-rou]), 〇次(〇-じ[〇-ji]). It usually means the second son. It sometimes written with the numeral character of 二(ジ[Ji]:two/second) instead of 次, like 二郎, 〇二.

##### **白洲次郎 : Shirasu Jiro**

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/白洲次郎

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jirō+Shirasu

> *a Japanese bureaucrat and businessman. He was born in Ashiya in Hyogo Prefecture and studied at Clare College, Cambridge.*
>
>

##### **金子正次 : Kaneko Shoji**

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/金子正次

He was a Japanese scriptwriter and actor born in Ehime. Shoji was his stage name. So that I'm not sure if he was the second son... He might want to success something in old movies, I suppose...

##### **竜二 (映画) : Ryuji (film)**

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/竜二+(映画)

It is a film which Kaneko Shoji wrote the script and play the leading part.

Today, these names for male are old-fashioned, I suppose... I cannot read the names of children who join Jizo-Bon festival...

### **Offering among Japanese Buddhist Services**

We are familiar with various kind of chrysanthemums. They are often used for offering to our ancestors at our family altars, graves and funerals among traditional Japanese Buddhist customs. The chrysanthemums for offering are usually tough to keep their shape outside and it is easy to clean up the ground rather than Sakura : cherry blossom and Momiji : autumn leaves.

The toughness of chrysanthemums are good with some long exhibitions.

We sometimes visited the exhibition of dolls made with chrysanthemums at Hirakata Park before it stooped as an annual event in 2005. So that we visit there for its rose garden.

According to the wikipedia, they are focused for anti-aging now... I didn't know that...

### **Old Female Names**

    菊(キク[Kiku]) was sometimes used for an old female name.

The common nouns with 2-mora sounds were often used for old female names, such as タマ:Ta-ma, ツル:Tsu-ru, ヨネ:Yo-ne, ウメ:U-me, タケ:Ta-ke, マツ:Ma-tsu, トラ:To-ra, etc. And they often call those names with a prefix "お-[O-]" at the head with affection and respect, like O-Tsuru, or my dear Tsuru.

My maternal great grandmother's name was 寅(トラ[Tora]) and we usually called/call her O-Tora-san at home or at our grave.

    Flora motifs were often used as 家紋(かもん[Ka-mon]):a family crest or emblem in Japan.

##### **家紋 : Mon (emblem)**

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mon\_(emblem)

A family crest is often used for family graves, altars and ceremonies today.

Chrysanthemum was also adopted for various crests.

##### **菊花紋章 : Crests of the Chrysanthemum**

The typical crest of the chrysanthemum blossom is the Japanese Imperial Kamon - a stylized chrysanthemum blossom. We often see it at the shrines and temples in Kyoto.
