'YAMAKICHIBEI'
|
|
| Provenance: Elliott D. Long | SOLD |
|
A very fine example of the kuruma-sukashi motif used by both the O-Shodai and Meijin-Shodai smiths. The design and treatment of the plate, featuring outstanding tsuchime, tekkotsu, and yakite treatment, confirms the superb ability of this smith, all in a mokko-gata shape. 8.40cm x 7.90cm x 0.4.cm |
 |
 MEI: 'YAMAKICHIBEI'. This signature is illustrating the features that differentiate it from that of the Meijin-Shodai: a low central stroke in the 'Yama' ji; the close together and parallel form of the two horizontal strokes in the 'Kichi' ji; the manner of rendering the bottom character being farther apart in the 'Bei' ji. This confirms a master work by the fifth 'YAMAKICHIBEI'. |
