NBTHK Hozon Ko-Kinko (o)-kozuka of O-Yanone design

[Curran]

NBTHK Hozon + cloth shifuku + fitted box (older style harder wood)

The kozuka is slightly larger than most kozuka of the period, by about 1-2mm in each direction. Not quite an o-kozuka, but noticeably earlier work better than many Ko-Goto.

 

$1000  

 

PM me any questions.

This is from my personal collection.  A great piece with great age and presence.

And comparison next to a special Momoyama Goto piece I will put up for Juyo shinsa soon.

 

I'd guarantee the Ko-kinko O-Yanone kozuka to easily go Tokubetsu Hozon.

For the sacrifice of pursuing a Goto Kojo piece up for sale,

I will cut this to $925 for a while.

 

The Goto Kojo piece isn't much of an improvement on this one, and is 3x the price of this kozuka.

Still, I will leave it up a few more days.

 

Thanks all.
