This is an incense burner by Kuma-haru Kikuchi of Hoju-do, a regular member of the Japan Kogei Association, featuring a pheasant motif. It is characterized by the profound feel typical of metal crafts from Yamagata Prefecture and an abstract, refined design. The pheasant's back is a removable lid, allowing you to enjoy it both practically as an incense burner and as a work of art. The incense smoke rising from the openwork sections also creates a beautiful design. It comes with a wooden box, which includes: - Title: "Pheasant" - Origin: "Made in Yamagata Prefecture" - Artist's signature and seal A brief biography is also included. 【Condition】 - Unused - Stored carefully at home for approximately 50 years after purchase without use. - There are some scratches on the metal surface, fading of the gold coloring, and areas where the base metal is visible due to aging (please see the photos in the latter half). - There are no cracks or damage to the incense burner body or lid. We recommend this item for those who understand that it is a long-term stored craftwork and for those who collect incense burners, Japanese crafts, and works by artists. *Please check the photos for the condition and only purchase if you are satisfied.
