Hi all,

Once again I am hoping someone here can explain this to me..

It is an empty fittings box that looks to have housed F/K and menuki, at one time… Too nice a box to pass up.. I may recycle..?

Any insight would be appreciated. Additionally, does anyone recognise the seal or Kao?

Thanks in advance..

This was done by Kanzan.

Futakoromono (set of two items)　(menuki and fuchi-gashira perhaps?)

 

 

My guess is the box lid says in part that they are done in shakudo with takabori, unsigned, attributed to Yanagawa school. Dated 1966...Appraiser is Kanzan Sato sensei.

Tom,

Wow..! Very many thanks. Its such a nice box, seems like a real pity that it was separated from the 'said' contents… maybe they were used for a koshirae.. who knows?

Thanks to Guido and Chris as well.. I (we all, I am sure) really appreciate everyones assistance here.

Barrie.
