| Description |
| A set of menuki that is hard to believe from the end of the Muromachi period. Perhaps since they were in the care of a very high level individual, is the reason that they are in such pristine condition. Goto Tokujo is the 5th mainline master, and the design done in solid gold is the classic double shishi subject. Of course the carving is done in the best style possible, the pose of the shishi are very strong, and the quality of the metal is high. Tokujo was designated to work for the upper class only, also he was in charge of the manufacture of the gold coins for the Bakufu. He is also considered the first of the Goto Mainline to make tsuba, leaving a few examples that are attributed by later masters to him. Other than that there is not much to write, this is the stuff of kings, and your chance to own such a set is an honor. In excellent condition. Custom fitted box included |
