Tanto54 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Posted June 18, 2013 It's a Mongolian Archer (popular subject in netsuke). Look at the striking similarity to this tobacco pouch clasp. Quote
Ian Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Posted June 18, 2013 Nice menuki Ian. Are they papered? Not yet, but I think they are worthy Ian Quote
Soshin Posted June 18, 2013 Report Posted June 18, 2013 Hi Ian C., Nice set of menuki. Are they signed on the back or the side? I always wonder about really nice mumei kinko tosogu if an attribution about who or what school made them and period of production can be made without the presence of a signature. This question came to mind over the weekend when examining my new kogai which is mumei and based upon NMB feedback and my own impression is of good quality. Quote
Ian Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Posted June 18, 2013 Are they signed on the back or the side? No, but who knows if a plaque has been removed, or just unsigned. The posts have been removed at some stage! http://www.flickr.com/photos/nihonto-uk ... /lightbox/ Regards Quote
