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.)
