拍品专文

Munekuni came from a family of metalworkers originally in the Saotome school. His name is mentioned in Masuda Myochin ke rekidai keifu (Genealogy of the Masuda Myochin school) as an artist living in Iwaki, Aizu province (present-day Fukushima Prefecture). He apprenticed to Myochin Munemasa, the twenty-sixth generation of the Myochin school in Edo. This crab appears to be the only known articulated sculpture signed by Munekuni.
