This is a very valuable and rare item. It seems that old wood from the renovation of the National Treasure Nikko Toshogu Shrine was used in this piece. The lion-dog head's face is also dignified and well-crafted, and it's in good condition with no signs of use. Both the lion-dog head and the ashtray are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, and the size can be referenced in the scale in the photos. #Nikko #Shirokawa #NationalTreasure #ImportantCulturalProperty #NationalTreasureNikkoToshoguShrine #VermilionLacquer #LionDogHead #PerfectForNewYear
