Thanks for your opinion. Here is different angle in better lighting.

Could you share some of them for reference?

Mei is Takase Yoshitoshi. I don't know much about this artist, do you have any information about his life and works?

Hello everyone, may i have your opinion on this fuchi? Though that quality of the wave sculpture is quite nice to me. But i'm not sure how it compares to top quality Omori wave sculpture? There are lots of dust stuck inside the holes between waves, so it looks like grainy background there. Thank you!

Hi all, hope you're doing well. I have just got this menuki in the form of Tomei millet motif. I know there are tons of Araki counterfeits out there, so it's not easy to get an authentic one with no paper. Since i have never seen a Tomei's work in hand, so it's quite difficult for me to tell if this one is a good piece or not. It would be my pleasure to have any educated opinion on it. I'm also grateful if there's any document about Tomei's millet technique that you can share. I'm newbie here and have willing to learn from you all. Cheers!
