Weight (in grams): 54g
Total weight including wooden box: 200g
Dimensions (in cm): H7.3×W7.2×D7.2
Exquisitely carved with meticulous precision, this is a carefully crafted masterpiece.
Though featuring a modern palette of vibrant colors, the hues are thoughtfully chosen, resulting in a composition of remarkable elegance and lustrous beauty.
I've heard it has been treasured since ancient times, yet it shows no noticeable damage and is in splendid condition.
❝Mae Shigeo (前 志芸男)❞
Chinkin artist from Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture.
Studied under Mae Taihō, a living national treasure, and has been producing chinkin works for tea ceremony utensils and lacquerware such as jujube and incense containers.
His work has been selected for many exhibitions including Nitten and Bijutsu-ten.
Chinkin is a process of engraving patterns with a knife and decorating with gold leaf and gold powder.
Chinkin is a very delicate decoration technique often used in Wajima-nuri.
❝Mae Taihō (前 大峰 b1890)❞
