Japanese Dinosaurs in a Japanese Way Vol. 5

With affection for Japan's dinosaurs, I've tried to express Koshisaurus with a Japanese image.

〈Koshisaurus〉
Koshisaurus belongs to the same Iguanodontidae family as Fukuissaurus, but it is a distinct genus of dinosaur with different maxillary characteristics. The discovery of Koshisaurus is important evidence that Fukui Prefecture during the Early Cretaceous period was a rich environment inhabited by multiple species of iguanodontids.

〈Seigaiha〉
Seigaiha is a geometric pattern resembling waves, formed by stacking semicircles in triples. It is said to have originated in ancient Persia and arrived in Japan via the Silk Road. As a traditional pattern that has existed in Japan for a long time, it is known as one of the popular patterns for kimonos. The pattern of endlessly spreading calm waves embodies wishes for everlasting happiness and peaceful lives for people. Since it resembles the Wi-Fi symbol, many of you might find it a familiar pattern.
