| This fuchi-kashira is decorated with cherry blossoms covering most of the shakudō nanako surface, as if expressing cherry trees in full bloom. The overlapping blossoms are carved with a strong sense of depth, creating a vivid scene of sakura at the height of their beauty.From its workmanship and refined style, the piece appears to be a work of a Kyō-kinkō metalworker. |
