Kayakuire As Art


ken kata

Recommended Posts

Hello Guys..  :)

Any of you guys collect Kayakuire ?

Would it be considered as art, like Sumisubo.. ( "Tools" that are decorative and/or Personalized ).

I was starting ..

Is the Gourd a Kayakuire? 

 

On the other post by Anthony and another post with Piers,

We were discussing if the netsuki gun was 'Funtional"..

not for projectiles, but, maybe a lighter, or "Cap Gun"..?

 

Thanks Guys...  :)

Hi Alton,

 

Looks interesting but more or less beyond me.   Piers and Anthony are extremely knowledgeable and should be able to guide you in the right direction.  I do know quite a bit about netsuke, the few real miniature gun netsuke I have seen were smaller and very finely made, most of the ones about are fake.  As to the exact function of your piece, I'll leave to someone who knows.

 

Cheers,

     -S-

p.s.- BTW, there are collectors for just about anything.
