Kyo-Kinko fuchikashira with NBTHK Hozon Tosogu. Decorated with a Japanese festival theme. There are multiple people with swords, fans and musical instruments. All appear to be dancing. Made of shakudo with nanako ground. With multiple inlaid metals. When looking at it in person those small characters make an amazing impression. However with zoom and close ups most of the magic disappears. So it is best to try to look at this set in its original size. Size: Fuchi: 39 mm x 23 mm x 12 mm Kashira: 33 mm x 19 mm x 8 mm Made in late edo period.
