Bazza Posted July 20, 2022 Report Posted July 20, 2022 But first, read about the Shōjō: https://yokai.com/shoujou/ Then read (‘wade through’) this document I prepared for my Collection files (attached) derived from the internet, with salutations to Micky Bumbar (Lords of the Drinks)/ January 28, 2018. The Shōjō photos are there too, but for the curious and slow readers here are the menuki without wearing out your eyes. Sadly, they came out of an old and neglected tsuka and surely need the attention of a metalwork genius. Mickey Dumbar's Shōjō story from the web.docx Best regards, BaZZa. 5 Quote
Matsunoki Posted July 20, 2022 Report Posted July 20, 2022 Never seen Shojo menuki before……I love ‘em. The actual patination and gilding looks fairly good under some grime. Some very very gentle cleaning with soapy water and cotton buds? The red hair could be lacquer as it’s pretty difficult to get copper to stay that colour? Nice find. All the best. Colin 1 Quote
