NihontoWatchNihontoWatchThis is a beautiful futatokoromono set (kogai and kotsuka) signed by Mikami Yoshihide. The pieces feature shakudo plates with very fine nanako, housed in yamagane cases, and decorated with gold, silver, and shakudo cockerels. Yoshihide was active in the mid-19th century (late Edo period) and was a student of Ishigoro Masayoshi. The set is in great condition and comes with an NBTHK Koshu Tokubetsu Kicho paper from 1978.
