Orphaned shibuichi fuchi signed Sugioka Ikkio
with Kao. Motif of crashing waves with spray and
reflecting sun is well executed in low relief carving,
tenzogan inlay of silver and gold gilding. The
signature is correct, reflecting that commonly seen for this
artist. Ikkio is a recognized late Edo artist, but
little is known of his lineage.
Late Edo (19th c.)
