拍品专文

The head of this dragon shows fine details worked in uchidashi (translate literally as “hammered”), known as special technique for creating three-dimensional, sculptural works from a thin iron sheet by hammering. The Myochin family of armorers was particularly skilled at this technique of uchidashi and the details on the present lot suggest that this dragon was made by the Myochin artist from Edo period.
