mas4t0 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Posted July 29, 2013 I would appreciate some opinions on these menuki. I've had them for a few months now and I am quite fond of them. The plate is shakudo and they depict Torii gates and what I believe to be cherry blossoms. Any opinions with regards to school or details of any possible meaning of the motif would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. Kind Regards, Mark Quote
Curran Posted July 30, 2013 Report Posted July 30, 2013 Yoshinoyama and the Yoshino Torii? I believe there was a woodblock print like this from the late 1800s? Seems familiar. Quote

Ron STL Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 The work appears very nice with (from the back) nice walls and finishing. I wonder if today these would be called Kyo-kinko, later Edo. Ron STL Quote
