My modern take on the Tsuki no Usagi sword kake

This kake is made in a modern style using traditional methods (hand tools; mortise and tenon joinery - no mechanical fasteners).

I found the Tsuki no Usagi story interesting (okay, my wife thought the rabbit was cute). Figured maple with simple marquetry inlay for the rabbit. The moon is spalted maple with Dutch foil and applied patina for the moon-lit clouds. The back is flat so it can sit against the wall.

Thanks to all for taking a look. 

A teaser... my next project, currently in the works, will be a yanone/yajiri stand...

 

BTW, everything is done without power tools (drill excluded) from an apartment workbench (except the sanding, of course).
