This elegant kozuka from the Kaga-Goto school features two dynamic dragons amidst swirling clouds, executed in fine gold inlay against a deep shakudo ground with a delicate nanako texture. The reverse side displays characteristic Kaga-Goto yasurime, and the piece is preserved in outstanding condition. Stylistically, it reflects the mature Kaga-Goto taste for opulent yet controlled ornamentation, dating to the early Edo period.

The Kaga Goto (加賀後藤) school arose when the Maeda lords of Kaga Province drew masters of the Goto house from Kyoto into their direct service. The founding figure was Goto Kakujo Mitsunobu (覚乗光信), born in Kyoto in Tensho 17 (1589) as the second son of Chojo. By the directive of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the Goto family's closely guarded techniques, transmitted as an exclusive isshi soden (一子相伝) lineage, were conferred in full upon Kakujo of the Kanbei house, although it was not the main line.
