Now Viewing: Komakusa_SannyoTag type: Character 駒草 山如 Character Title: Highland-Dwelling Yamajorou Nickname: Komakusa-dayuu Species: Yamajorou A female character in the Touhou universe. Komakusa Sannyo (駒草 山如) is the Stage 3 midboss and boss in Unconnected_Marketeers. Name Her surname, Komakusa (駒草), is the Japanese word for Dicentra peregrina [1]. Koma (駒) in this context means "horse", owing to how the plant's shape resembles a horse's head, and kusa (草) means "grass" or "herb". Her given name, Sannyo (山如), is spelt with characters that mean "like a mountain". When written with the character 女, nyo can also mean "woman", making "mountain woman". Her nickname is Komakusa-dayuu (駒草太夫 Komakusadayuu): her surname with the suffix tayuu (太夫) applied to it. A tayuu is the highest rank amongst oiran [2] (花魁), which were high-ranking courtesans in historical Japan. Design Her nickname and youkai species heavily imply that she is (or was) a high-ranking courtesan. Her outfit in Unconnected Marketeers reflects this, which consists of layered red silk robes with gold embroidery, and a violet silk skirt. Historically, violet silk was very expensive and considered a luxury few could afford. She also possesses an ornate dragon pipe with yellow gemstone eyes (used with "100% natural Youkai_Mountain tobacco"), and what appears to be a gold-gilded folding_fan.
