Thanks Matsunoki. I still love the design of it. Very clever! Wonder if there is an original of this somewhere then?

Thanks Jake so much for your input. So if gimei would it still have probably be made in Japan and not a Chinese knock-off? And if gimei made in JP what sort of value would you think would be fair?

Thanks, that is my fave as well. I love the simplicity of the design and the execution. Thanks. There are so many beautiful pieces out there but tying to be as discerning as possible. Thanks. Yes, also my fave. Be careful - I think it is a bug with no cure!
