Mikura Tsuge straight grained Heaped pieces
[By Ippei, Minase]

[一平作・水無瀬書]

 Price : 200,000 JPY

 Product ID:A307

 This is a work that was given to me decades ago from Ippei in Tendo. Kyutoku was the one who enlivened the lacquer, and I liked this piece because of the wonderful brush stroke of Minase. The wood is an attractive old wood and candy-colored. This is a new, unused piece that has been stored in our shop. It is an old piece, so each peace is slightly smaller.


Mikura Tsuge tiger striped Heaped pieces
[By Tosui, Genbe-Kiyoyasu, 3 Kings]

[淘水作・源兵衛清安書・王3枚]

 Price : 500,000 JPY

 Product ID:A306

 Elegant white tiger striped wood. There is glitter pattern on entire wood. Tosui's work is also impeccable, and use of lacquer is excellent, and elegance is outstanding in how to heap lacquer. The more you use it, the darker amber color and the clearer pattern.


Satsuma Tsuge lightning figured Heaped pieces
[By Tosui, Kinki, 3 Kings]

[淘水作・錦旗・王3枚]

 Price : 650,000 JPY

 Product ID:A309

 This is Shinpitsu style Kinki. Compared to other styles, this typeface is slightly bolder and has been well received, and is the most popular among Tosui's styles. The use of lacquer is smooth and fluid. I am particularly fond of this Kinki and Minase, which have an orthodox finish. They are graceful yet powerful pieces.
 We were very careful about the wood, and used one set of the finest from the more than 2,000 pieces of Satsuma wood we purchased last year.


Mikura Tsuge root figured Heaped pieces
[By Fugetsu, Kinki]

[富月作・錦旗]

 Price : 650,000 JPY

 Product ID:A289

 Two new sets of heaped pieces by Fugetsu. They are Kinki and lower Ryoko, just finished in July, and are the most exclusive pieces you can find. Both pieces are made of Mikura tsuge, a rare wood from which only a few pieces can be obtained from a single tree. The dark-colored root wood with powerful bold Kinki. The brush storoke and finishing are all to the owner's liking, and the easy-to-use chamfering is also a first-rate job that takes a lot of time and effort.

[熊澤良尊作・水無瀬兼成卿・王3枚]

 Price : 600,000 JPY

 Product ID:K414

 When ordering Ryoson's pieces, we pay a lot of attention to the wood, and use the finest material that we can only get a little bit a year. The typeface is Minase-Kanari, that is a popular typeface of Ryoson and Kominase's different version.
