Hello everyone,
I am a new member looking to sell a very nice kozuka that has been attributed to the Kaga Goto school. It is a superb example of workmanship containing extremely fine shakudo nanako work blended with golden thatched huts, a golden bridge spanning a fast-flowing river done in silver. There are trees done in gold, shakudo, and silver together with a golden sun peeking out from behind some clouds. This is an excellent example of the work of the Goto school who served the famous Maeda family in Kanazawa during the Edo period. It comes in a fitted wooden box together with NBTHK Hozon papers attesting to the attribution and the quality of the piece.
I acquired this piece from Fred via nihonto.com last year. For me, this was an introductory piece to this world of collecting. Unfortunately, I recently tapped into my emergency fund and it needs replenishment. I am asking what I paid which is 2,650.00 USD. I am more than happy to video chat to show the piece. I have included the pictures from Fred's original listing as well as my own with my written username. For those interested, I can forward the email exchange between myself and Fred detailing the purchase. Please feel free to reach out with any further questions.
Thank you!
Carl
