Q189.  Shakudo with bold gold shishi.  1.35 x 9.6 cm is the size.  Fine shakudo nanako forms the background but nobody will notice the background on this piece: the shishi demands attention.  Condition is excellent; comes in a fitted box.  The label on the box says, gold shishi kotsuka.  This would pair quite nicely with the fuchi kashira Q204, which I hope to list in the next few minutes.  $350.
