| Period: Early to Middle Edo There're few Menuki of HIGO School while there're many of Tsuba and Fuchi&Kashira. Especially Hirata Menuki were very few in number, so this is really rare item. Follow us on Twitter!! https://twitter.com/#!/kurikarajapan The motif is Enko-hogetsu, which represents a Buddhist old story. As the monkey tries to catch the moon reflected on the surface of the water, it accidentally falls into the water. = It is folly to desire things of beyond his ability, which has self-criticism in it. Condition is fine. With certificate and Otoshibako (Box). | ||
