Just came across one where this wasn't the case on the lower 2. One side is lower as if the sides were somehow inverted (impossible as the middle section is connected into the wood). Any ideas?

Yves Posted April 8, 2024 Author Report Posted April 8, 2024 BTW, anyone have an indication of the price of a very good undamaged katanakake in black/gold lacquer with signature of the maker and dating to the late Edo period (1825-1870)? Maker is Nakayama Komin. Quote
Yves Posted April 13, 2024 Author Report Posted April 13, 2024 I decided to buy this one because I really liked it. 3 1 1 Quote

Expand That certainly does look pretty, will it match with that you will display? It is unfortunate the petal pattern on it isn't centered, those perfectionist eyes of mine just can't be helped though. Quote
