Marc BROQUIN Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Hello all, Could someone give me the reading and kanji written on this ivory kozuka ? Thanks by advance Marc Quote
Nobody Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Maybe; 壽峰堂 - Juhodo 正一 - Masaichi/Masakazu/Shoichi (reading?) +Kao Quote
John A Stuart Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 I wonder if this would have been made by a Netsukeshi. They worked in ivory and made okimono and such. Here is a link to possible artists. It would take a lot of research to pin down the specific artist. http://netsuke-index.com/# John Quote
Brian Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Marc, Don't tease us! You have to show us more pics of this unusual item. Brian Quote

Bugyotsuji Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 Very clever how he has got the ivory to look like copper. Thanks for posting. Quote
