x special - Fuchi Kashira Tani Seibei- fine japanese Art, original Japan HIGO

Fuchi Kashira - a fine Japanese piece of art made of Iron with a very fine carving.

Two pieces - photographed by different angles.

Rich in detail. Due to its talented detail work, I suspect Tani Seibei of Kumamoto in Higo as a maker. Would love to know more about the story behind the design.

Antique. Original from Japan.
