This is a high-quality shakudo nanako kozuka featuring a flying crane motif. The signature "Yanagawa Naotoki" is considered gimei due to discrepancies with verified examples. Made in the later Edo period, the kozuka has a dark black shakudo ground and the crane appears to be crafted from solid gold or thick gold foil, remaining in perfect condition.
