I was on the boards the other day and noticed MLos1's tag under his name - "既濟"
I have studied a bit of Japanese, so I knew that it meant something like "all paid up." I asked him today what the significance of it was and he told me it was the meaning behind that particular hexigram in the I-Ching (the Arashikage clan mark) - which in this case is "completion." After a wiki-read later, I learned that there are 63 other hexigrams in the I-Ching, each with it's own meaning. I was stunned. Did anyone else know this, or was I just that ignorant? Thanks to MLos1, I learned something! -"And knowing is half the battle!" Last edited by Ako Roshi; 11-05-2009 at 06:52 PM.. |

The marking on Snake Eye's right shoulder come from the Eight Trigrams. The top marking is Water, the lower marking is Fire.

Another tidbit of cool info is that in a Power Fist comic Larry Hama used another I-ching hexagram, when he was writting it! Larry must have a thing for the I-ching!

My boyfriend actually showed me the i-ching book when he moved in with me over a year ago. I asked him what his tattoo meant and he had me read the book. Let me just say that even after reading the book I was VERY confused and just asked him to explain it to me. I learned something that day...if you dont know...GOOGLE LOL
I have since made a painting of the arashikage to hang on the wall above my boyfriends swords. It actually looks pretty cool. |
