Janusz J Posted March 25, 2024 Report Posted March 25, 2024 Dear friends! Decorative Tachi, 1930s. I wonder what kind of bird this is with wings? and what does it matter? Regards Janusz Quote
Matsunoki Posted March 25, 2024 Report Posted March 25, 2024 The bird is the Ho-o also sometimes referred to as a Phoenix and sometimes wrongly as a bird of paradise Tachi with Ho-o fittings were very popular in and after Meiji period as “tourist pieces”. Some however are still very fine quality https://www.onmarkpr.../ho-oo-phoenix.shtml 2 Quote
