Fuchi - Shakudo - Ishiguro Masachika - Japan - Edo Period (1600-1868)

Daisho Fuchi/Kashira Set by Ishiguro Masachika with NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon Papers Signed Ishiguro Masachika [Kao] (石黒政近[花押]). I will not comment on this masterpiece of art itself but rather go into the process of taking pictures of it. When I decided to sell this set, I knew that taking pictures would be a huge challenge. The Ishiguro school is famous among museums and collectors for its fine and beautiful nanako. So, I decided to wait for the morning sun on a clear spring day and what my camera caught almost looks like small black diamonds sparkling in the sun light. This set has a deep beauty to it which is unique in the range of fine and high class tosogu. The ten omodaka themed kamon are delicately carved and gilded in a superior way of craftmanship. This set came from Soryu Antiques Dimensions: Fuchi: 38 mm x 20 mm x 12 mm Kashira: 35 mm x 16 mm x 8 mm Fuchi: 39 mm x 20 mm x 11 mm Kashira: 34 mm x 15 mm x 8 mm
