This kozuka features a unique design of a broken hat and a bee, combining the wabi-sabi aesthetic of the worn hat with the vitality of the bee. Crafted in shakudo nanako ground, the detailed carving of the hat's bamboo ribs and the three-dimensional bee with gold and shakudo stripes showcase exceptional Edo period metalwork. The piece offers varied visual appeal from different angles, highlighting the contrast between the rustic object and the vibrant insect.
