actually it means 'to like light'.

wait it may have that meaning too

@@l2lensama124 My son tells me the first symbol is used to mean 'to like' in English but is technically an adjective. He's new to Japanese, though, so... I was just relaying what I was told. :)

@@arjay9745 It's a deliberate intention

Thank you for enlightening my ignorance to its history

@@martinhensonphotography :) My pleasure. These days people are unfamiliar with wild boar, and so assume they are pigs. Part of the confusion stems from male pigs being called boars. The domesticated pig and wild boar are different species. There are differences in body shape, for example wild boar have a pronounced shoulder hump and smaller hind quarters. Pigs have big butts, and narrower shoulders. There is a myth that domesticated pigs that escape to the wilderness revert to becoming wild boar over a couple of generations. This is not true. Wild pig in places like Australia and New Zealand can be dangerous animals, but they never gain the distinct features of wild boar of Europe and Asia no matter how many generations pass. This particular sculpture is well loved, but modern people do not generally understand the regard that ancient people's had for the animal. The original of this sculpture was part of a cultural change from back then, in which wild animals became the subject of bestiary, moralizing stories. Aesop's Fables contain many bestiary. Porcellino was an active participant in a visual story about the guile of the animal, and the virtues of courage and cunning are played out between hunter and hunted, and it was not a foregone conclusion - sometimes the wild boar died, but sometimes it was the wild boar that emerged triumphant. As an art historian I am fascinated by cultural histories, and to me, it is very remarkable that this symbol of the hunt from more than two thousand years ago in dry and rocky ancient Greece would end up here, with a rough farmer's fence around it, in a damp English field.

Thanks 👍

Well because of the new cost I would think it not worth sending for repair, I guess that would cost as much as a new one

@@martinhensonphotography Hello again Martin. Thanks for your quick reply. I was afraid you might say that. Such a shame because it is in lovely condition. ( Apart from the needle not moving. ) . Thanks again. Stay well. 👍
