Final price. Meiji-era antique paperweight of a child holding a "denden daiko" (rattle drum) with a "mitsu tomoe" (three-comma) crest. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I was told this was used by my great-grandfather, who served as a sergeant major in the Imperial Japanese Army's engineering corps during the Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese Wars, and later worked in the Taiwan Governor-General's Civil Engineering Bureau. [Dimensions] Width: Approximately 9.5cm Depth: Approximately 5cm Height: Approximately 4cm Weight: 244.1g It seems that the round indentation next to the denden daiko was used to hold ink for seals.
