It is common practice in Japanese to swap out characters with the same sounds to affect a different meaning in a name. Some people read it as "Doshida" as 土, meaning earth, has an On reading of both "Do" and "To". While not as common, "Doshida" is an accepted variation in pronunciation with the same Japanese language spelling as "Toshida"

Heidelberg is a German university town on the Neckar River, first referred to as Heidelberg in 1196 in a document in Schönen Monastery, according to http://www.cvb-heidelberg.de/e553/e885/index_eng.html. It is stated to be first mentioned in 12th C. as a "bulwark of the Reformation in the 16th century" in The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition, Copyright 2008, Columbia University Press. The Encyclopedia Britannica On-Line's entry for Heidelberg (http://www.britannica.com/)

A map is on line at http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/ttp/mercator...#... which is dated from 1570, shows the city with the spelling Heydelberg. The i/y interchangeability is about the same in German of that time as in English.

Device returned by Laurel on LoAR November 2010

Azure, a dolphin urinant contourny and on a chief wavy Or three escarbuncles of five arms azure.

This device is returned for lack of identifiability. Commenters were unable to identify the five-armed escarbuncles. Section VII.7.a of the Rules for Submissions requires that "Elements must be recognizable solely from their appearance." There is also the question of whether or not they are period: all registrations of five-armed escarbuncles are to a single couple, in the early 1980s. Commenters were unable to find any five-armed escarbuncles in period armory.

This device is also returned because the dolphin is in trian aspect. The back and belly fins should run up the dexter and sinister side of the s-curve, not across the body of the beast.

Per fess argent and Or chape barry Or and azure, a peacock proper, on a chief azure a canopy top argent.

Old Item: Vert semy of roses, a unicorn couchant contourny argent., to be retained as a badge.

This item was on the 01-2023 LoAR https://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2023/01/23-01lar.html

"This device is returned for lack of documentation of this form of canopy. This submission would have been the defining instance of this canopy, similar to the attested ombrellino but lacking the center pole. However, while the submitter provided period examples of the canopy as depicted in art, the charge used in the device submission deviated significantly, having several significant, isolated dags, where the documented forms consistently lack them utterly, having a flat edge.

In addition, there were some problems with the documentation provided. While the sources identified the canopy as a pyx, a pyx is a small, round container that holds the host or Eucharist. The submitter's document provided no other term for the circular canopy, so it will continue to be identified as a conical canopy. From the documentation provided, a structure normally hangs from the center of the conical canopy; in only one image provided did a structure not hang beneath. This structure was missing in the submitted armory. Additional images without the structure would assist in determining how identifiable the conical canopy would be."

The previous submission was to be a DEVICE CHANGE with the previously registered device being retained as a BADGE. This remains the submitter's wish, please! Additionally, the proposed blazon remains unchanged: Per fess argent and Or chapé barry Or and azure, a peacock proper, on a chief azure a canopy argent.

RESUB written documentation begins HERE:

Canopy/Canoppie - (SENA A.2B2.a) "A constructed element as a new charge based on tools and everyday artifacts." This term was used in England as the name of conical pieces of fabric that were commonly placed above altars to cover the suspended Tabernacle known as a hanging pyx/pix. The purpose of these large canopies was to prevent even a glimpse of the pyx, which was often covered by an additional veil. Suspended canopies were frequently depicted above royalty, such as when seated upon their throne, with or without an honour cloth coming down behind. Many of these canopies were illustrated as having shreds (dags), fringe, tassels, or even bells! (See Image 6 for the design used in creating this submission)

Sources:

1. "Above the pyx, King mentions that a circular tent-like canopy was also suspended. This construction can be seen in various medieval manuscripts."

https://oscar.sca.org/s.php?u=717 [ www.liturgicalartsjournal.com ]

2. "…During the two centuries preceding the Reformation the more usual method of reservation in England was the Hanging Pyx or Suspended Tabernacle. It was also common in some places on the Continent, especially in France, where its use was not infrequent as late as the seventeenth century. Plate 1 shows the method of suspension, though the somewhat large canopy prevents even a glimpse of the veil covering the actual pyx."
