M126 Tomohiro Tsubame Excellent set of menuki by Tomohiro. There are 2 Tomohiro listed in the meikan, but we must study more to decide which maker this signature is related to. Judging by the high quality of these menuki, one can see that they were made by an artist who had a very high level of skill; note the dark black shakudo with fine use of gold and red copper for the accents to the design, as well as the ultra fine line carving on the silver belly of the bird and how sharp the design is cut overall. We had a similiar menuki made by Omori Teruhide, and these are executed at the same high level of craftsmanship! A must see in person, you will not be disappointed. Late 1700'-early 1800's Signed - Tomohiro (Signature guaranteed to pass NBTHK shinsa if sent through us within up to 1 year after purchase) 32.5mm length, 12.3mm face width, 3.8mm thick SOLD
