Hi All,

 

I'm looking for 2 sets of gold water dragon menuki. Ideally old with papers, but I would be willing to commission a set from a reputable goldsmith.

 

These are for a daisho set, and are the last pieces I need. I've been trolling eBay and related sites for a few months, but haven't seen anything I like.

 

Some examples of menuki that I quite like:

  1. https://yuhindo.com/ko-mino-ryu/
  2. https://yuhindo.com/goto-teijo-dragon-menuki/

Any suggestions for a goldsmith experienced creating menuki?

Hi Chris,

 

I wouldn't bother with a commission as fine dragon menuki are available. Just frequent the better sites, search the net, and you'll find exactly what your looking for. Be patient.

 

Cheers,

-S-

Ford Hallam or one of his students would be the obvious choice. But I agree. If you speak to some of the larger dealers like Darcy or Mike Y or others on this board, they should be able to find you something. or Kelly in Japan.
