追加情報                                Additional Information

金の色合いと赤銅魚魚子地の黒のコントラストが良い作品です.

This work has a good contrast between the colour of gold and the black of Shakudo Gyogoji.

This 目貫 Menuki set will receive without any problem the 保存刀装具鑑定書 Hozon Tosogu Kanteisho through the NBTHK. In my opinion also a serious candidate for the 特別保存刀装具鑑定書 Tokubetsu Hozon Tosogu Kanteisho.

This set of 目貫 Menuki is suitable for a beautiful 脇 差 wakizashi  or刀 Katana  拵え koshirae.

歴史 History

The chicken motif in Japanese symbolizes abundance and prosperity, and became a popular image during the 江戸時代 Edo period.  The birds represented are likely the decorativeチャボ鶏 Chabo chickens, with high, ornamental tail feathers and short stubby legs. 京金工Kyō-kinkō works were those made in 京都 Kyōtō and山城国 Yamashiro kuni area. Many 京芸術家 Kyō- artists evolved from the key foundation schools such as the 後藤、梅忠、奈良 Gōtō, Umetada, Nara, among others.
