Very
detailed Ko Mino menuki of pine trees with cones of gold
gilded yamagane. Classic thin lozenge shape remains true to
the earliest Ko Mino tradition, with numerous unique sukashi
within the design. Detail is excellent, especially in
the execution of the gnarled, knotty pine bark.
Vertical walls and depth of the repousse attest to the high
quality of craftsmenship. NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon.
