"A brillant shakudo menuki set with carved gold inlay by Kaga metalworker Goto Takunori, Edo period.
The theme of this set of menuki is Kakko, a Japanese hourglass drum, played on both sides with sticks. This is used traditionally in Gagaku.
It is Mumei but attributed to the Kaga Goto Tradition. The features of this tradition are items made of copper along with silver, gold, and shakudo inlays." (Haynes & Long)
