Rabbit Kozuka - New to Me and Restoration

[Vermithrax16]

Been a bit since I posted, just not much to show. 

I was able to get this kozuka a while back. Love the motif, and it's a rich shibuichi, the type I love but don't see so much. A good friend suggested Mototada was a maker to compare to, and I have to say, he was spot on as usual. Certainly that deep relief style, though I am not sure it rises to the Mototada level. Shinsa soon.
I love the piece, but it was in somewhat rough shape. Enter Ford Hallam, who did his magic of cleaning and restoration. Now the piece is as deep and lovely as I imagined. Excited for this one:

Beautiful! Ford did a wonderful job on the piece. There is much to enjoy.
