The theme of this Kozuka is Botan Shishi, Peony and Chinese Sacred Lion. The craftsman, Sukeshige, was active in Kumitomo, Omi Province. He was once a matchlock gunsmith during the Mid Edo Period. Sukeshige used the Katakiri-bori technique to create this bold design. It has passed the Hozon Shinsa in February 2023. |
