Description
Very nice set of menuki done in red copper known as Suaka. Usually menuki of this type are done by the Goto or Nara Schools. The work is very well done, with deep detailed carving especially on the boat. The 3d effect is done very well and hard to capture in a photo. The design is of a man on a boat for the ura side, and the omote side is of birds in flight over the water. Good use of shakudo and gold for the accents. Large size at a reasonable price.

Description
Very nice set of menuki done in the round. Design of geese in flight, this set of menuki have a great sense of calm from its subject. Nature themes such as this set were very popular among the late 1800 craftsmen. This set is very well done using various soft metals to create a very realistic design. Base metal is shakudo with use of silver and gold. Detail is very fine showing the quality of this set. It is amazing how an artist can create such a scene in such a small limited space. This shows the skill and taste of the artist.
