　This is a work from 1997 by Kumazawa Ryoson, who has a devoted following. Ryoson's Kinki features a bold, lacquer-rich finish, making it a style I particularly admire. The wood is an elegant white tiger-stripe grain, representing the finest material.

Mikura Tsuge peacock figured Heaped pieces
[By Kikusui, Sofu-gonomi]

[掬水作・宗歩好]

　Price : 850,000 JPY

　Product ID：C102

　This is an early work by Kikusui, a modern master craftsman. It features rare Mikura peacock wood, distinguished by its finer grain and deeper color compared to Satsuma wood. The typeface is the popular Sohu-gonomi. Beyond the amber luster gained through aging, it features a slightly larger build.
　I have never seen such a large piece in Kikusui's work. Its brilliance, color, the wood's age, and the inherent beauty of the natural wood are all superb. It is a truly exceptional piece, possessing a remarkable presence rarely seen these days.

　Over 50 years ago, when I was searching for artisans in Tend?, the foremost name in craftsmanship was undoubtedly Kyutoku Ito (1918?1997). I was captivated by his painstakingly meticulous work and his earnest, sincere character, commissioning him to create numerous pieces using our shop's wood.
