Description
Large set of shakudo menuki from the Momoyama period (1596-early 1600’s). It is even possible that these menuki are from the very late muromachi period. They are in very good condition and are very nice examples of the early Ko Kinko school. The shakudo is very deep and dark, and the carving is very nice and shows very little wear. There are small fine silver dots on the leaves for the accents. They are very tall as is the style when well made from this time period. This particular set was from the famous Miyake collection, who was one of the main sponsors for the Fittings museum in Tokyo. Very collectable with a custom box. The subject is rather confusing, and with further study more information will be added.

Description
Very nice set of menuki done in top dark high grade shakudo. Well carved design of a water dragon, this set is very nice for use with a good mount. The only use of gold is for the eyes, and matches the design well. Because the dragon is scaleless, it is often inferred that this is what is known as a “water dragon”.

Description
Very nice set of deep dark black top grade shakudo menuki. This style of menuki is usually made by the Goto School. We just got these in, and they haven’t been to the shinsa in Japan yet. They are well carved, and the picture does not do the shakudo color any justice. Fine gold dots for the accents show the quality of the work. The design of a type of Daikon (radish) is seen often in Goto works.
