By the celebrated Japanese Meiji-era Miyao studio, this pair of pairs (four fighters as two groups) is a wonderful example of late 19th Century Bronze and multi-metal craftsmanship.
Both pairs are in combat. One pair is in the Kawazugake hold. It translates as “hooking backward counter throw.
All the figures are wearing Bronze loin clothes with gilded decoration depicting Mon, floral designs and geometric patterns.
Condition is very good. Please feel free to contact us with regards to pricing, additional information or to request further images.
