A118.  Copper menuki of wasps.  3.1 and 3.8 cm lengths.  This is a very fun set; the subject is whimsical and the work is impressive.  I’m always taken by how much incredibly skilled labor you can purchase for not a lot of money when you buy Nihonto art; this pair of menuki is a prime example.  And they improve under magnification; more and more detail is here to be discovered.  Condition is perfect; with a box.  $325.
