RobertM Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 Hi all, picked up this shakudo fuchi, seems nice work to me, with bamboo mon. Is anyone able to identify the mon? 38mm x 21mm and it is 11mm high. thanks rob m Quote
Barrie B Posted April 5, 2015 Report Posted April 5, 2015 Hi Rob, The Take (Bamboo) Mon on your Fuchi was popular and a version very similar to yours was used by many families. I have uploaded a picture from the book 'MON The Japanese Family Crest' by Hawley and Chappelear as well as another picture I have from another Mon book, but do not know the translation. I am assuming it is simply a description of the Mon.. Finding the family that used that exact Kamon might be a challenge.. Barrie. Quote
