| This fuchigashira depicts a peaceful rural landscape with thatched-roof houses nestled in a mountain village. The kashira features a thatched-roof house and a fence beneath a pine tree, while the fuchi depicts a group of houses surrounded by plants and flowers. The houses and trees are carved in high relief and inlaid into a shakudo ground with fine nanako texture, while the pine needles and flowers are highlighted with gold iroe decoration. This fuchigashira beautifully captures the tranquil atmosphere and rustic charm of a mountain village through delicate and expressive metalwork. |
