Description

This listing features a pair of menuki with a flower design, attributed to the Hirata school. Crafted during the mid-Edo period in Musashi province (Edo), they are made of copper with high relief carving, iroe (colored enamel), and shippo (cloisonné) inlay. The Hirata school is known for reviving and refining the ancient shippo technique, creating a distinctively cool and transparent enamel.
