Exceptional fushi in shakudo inlaid with gold and sentoku ,recounting the legend of the warrior Hide Sato victorious over the giant Mokume. As a reward, the Dragon King Ryu-Jin presented him with a precious bell, an always hot cauldron and an inexhaustible sack of rice. We see these three objects carried by the servants of Ryu-Jin emerging from the waves.
Exceptional quality.Important note that the gold parts are solid gold in pieces and not just gilded.
35x27mm.
Sign. Good condition.
I have not yet researched the name of the silversmith but it is obvious that it is one of the greatest of his period.
