Stephen Posted December 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 A member was msuing weather these might be signed. So i asked Sir Ford Hallam best method to remove pitch. Morning Stephen Solvents tend not to work very well on old pitch so I'd suggest heating with a hot air gun or similar. When it's all too hot to hold with bare fingers, use cloth, and pry it off with a sliver of wood or something non metallic. The motif refers to the incense game, the feather is used to brush ashes away from the burning incense and the charcoal, etc. The clam shells are also a game. Each half has part of a scene from a play painted on the inside. The shells are mixed up, face down, and you pick on and then must find the correct half to match. Hope that helps Ford If not sold here today off to ebay Sunday. Ill let the new owner decide if they want to mei hunt. Ill add additional photos today.

TETSUGENDO Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Of course, Kai-awase, a poetry game played using clamshells with beautifully decorated lacquer interiors, some of these sets are of very fine quality. The feather is part of the equipment for Kodo, the incense ceremony/game. Great Menuki! -S- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
