SANYO Cappa with uncommon WIN pocket

[CarlW]

Cappa !
From Wikipedia:
kappa, plural Kappa, in Japanese folklore, a type of vampirelike lecherous creature that is more intelligent than the devilish oni and less malevolent toward men. Kappa are credited with having taught the art of bonesetting to humans. They are depicted in legend and art as being the size of a 10-year-old child, yellow-green in colour, and resembling monkeys, but with fish scales or tortoise shells instead of skin. On the top of their head they have hollow indentations that are filled with water; if the water is spilled, they are said to lose their supernatural powers. Legends of encounters with kappa invariably include a reference to their capacity for keeping a promise, extracted from them after forcing their heads down or by tricking them into bowing low, thus spilling out the water. They have a taste for cucumbers, and a standard way of placating kappa is to throw a cucumber into the water where they live.


Not sure what to call these WIN pockets. Are they tulips (two lips) ? Winged Tulips ? Unique eyelashes? I don't know how to do a poll...

They look like breaking/broken hearts to me.

I have seen those heart pockets in 2 places. This is the only one I could find.

They seem really odd. I would love to get a pair of them to put into a machine.

so very odd, I just received a Nishijin B (1976 ish) with the same central piece. I searched for it on Nishijin could not find any and then comes along your post.

Thanks for the explanation. I thought it was a monkey.

I purchased that very machine for $20. It's 3rd on my list for restoration (after I finish refurbishing #2 and my wife's dog agility equipment) .
