REFINE 

Browse All : Shakudo with gold, silver and copper overlay. High relief modeling. Ground decorated in Nanako. Nanako is a close assemblage of tiny granules, the most characteristically Japanese treatment of a ground. In this each single grain is formed by a blow from a cup-headed punch, guided solely by hand and eye, and producing a ground of absolutely regular rows, straight or curved, of perfect hemispheres, uniform in size and free from any intervening burring of the metal.
