Curran Posted Friday at 02:36 PM Report Posted Friday at 02:36 PM Pre DTI Sale: $500 Gold pair of God of Fortune menuki. I picked these two sets up over the years for a koshirae project that won't happen. Now fire-sale to finance a nice Juyo. Review photos and ask questions. Theme: God of Fortune hammer, bag, and travel hat Age: unknown, presumed 1800s Edo. Kaga-esque. Gold content: low. unknown. I've had these for years and they do not tarnish. One set seems slightly more rose gold than the other set. $500+ shipping PM me. Curran [Chris in ATL] 1 Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted Friday at 02:42 PM Report Posted Friday at 02:42 PM The 'bag' may be a Mino straw cape, and it could be symbolizing or recalling the mino-game (Mino + Kame) , the turtle of long life. 1 Quote

Bugyotsuji Posted Friday at 03:38 PM Report Posted Friday at 03:38 PM Hmmm... not aware of what they are, but John, I was wondering whether the ajiro-gasa straw sombrero might not be decorated with a constellation map... oops 2 Quote
Curran Posted Friday at 04:41 PM Author Report Posted Friday at 04:41 PM Fairly certain they are gold, but a lower %. 8k to 12k is my best guess. 2 Quote
