Overreaching would never occur to me. Just the truth, as always.

What kind of ivory? I haven't read much at all about the elephants of Japan.
The ivory must have been due to contact with India. They took their miso and their fancy Imari ceramics and came back with Buddhism and elephant teefs.
The carved ivory depicts a Japanese oral tradition; the long-legged god [Ashinaga] carries the long-armed god [Tenaga]on his back. The pair fish and pick up shellfish [and octopus, apparently] in Suwa-ko [Suwa Lake]. That lake is in Nagano prefecture. There is a shrine -- Ashinaga Ginga -- in Suwa City which was founded in the Ninth Century.
Hope this helps...
