Yes I know, some work can be done... 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think this is a type with "crepe ishime" - there is a proper term in Japanese but I don't have it handy. These seem to be from a school that specialized in this decoration, designs vary a lot but there are many examples where the piercing shifts position around the plate. I have been collecting images of these for some time and note there are two main styles - one with the seppa-dai and hitsu outlined and the other where the ishime is not "contained" Here are three with the same "gumbai" piercing design. If you can find another they make a great daisho! [My "daisho" with a different pierced design.]

The fan is in the exact same position...

What are the dimensions?

Same artist?

[MauroP]

I have seen this texture pattern described in NBTHK papers as 阿弥陀石目地 - amida-ishime-ji, 花弁阿弥陀鑢地 - kaben-amida-yasuri-ji, 変り阿弥陀鑢地 - kawari-amida-yasuri-ji or 日足縮緬地 - hiashi-chirimen-ji. 
 

[ROKUJURO]

Yes, it is a simple form of AMIDA YASURI, but not ISHI ME (stone surface).

72 x 72 x 4mm

[Spartancrest]

An interesting take on the design   please note the fan sukashi has been enlarged for kozuka or kogai. A little crudely executed?

Isn't this surface sometimes referred to as "boar-hair" pattern?

I'll give it a try and comb it. 😂😉

[Jake6500]

I have looked it up and I in fact am NOT crazy lol

 

It's called Inoshishi-no-ke (boar-hair lines) because the pattern mimics the coarse fur of a wild boar...

 

 

Stop gaslighting me thread!!  I'm not crazy I swear
