NihontoWatchNihontoWatchHayashi Shigemitsu, Edo period (1652-1729) 7.644 cm x 7.38 x 5,5 mm. Excellent color and condition. He was the son of Hayashi Matashichi, second master of the Hayashi school. Ref. Haynes, H.08343.0; Nihon Toso Kinko Tai Jiten, Vol III, page 294; Higo Kinko Taikan pages 78 - 117; Toso KodoguMeiji Taisei Vol III, page 294. A classic Hayashi crane design, which is also found in early Akasaka. Lacking the laminations would seem to rule out consideration of Akasaka. Higo Kinko Taikan Nihon Toso Kinko Tai Jiten, Vol III
