as a badge. Others say _tamadzusa_ were exchanged between men and
women, as a keepsake or souvenir in Michinoku, made of paper variously
arranged to give different meanings; in Sanuki, a lover’s offering made
of straw. It may have been a spray of Catalpa (or cherry?) to which a

=tobutadzuno=, flying crane; sound-quibble, m. k. of _tadzutadzushi_.
=tobutorino=, like a flying bird; used with Asuka (pl. n.), often
