With some of our pieces, we prefer not to openly publish our asking price. We absolutely welcome visitors to the website to contact us to enquire about the cost of such pieces.
We just prefer to have a conversation to allow us to explain the pricing as well as to talk in more detail about the piece in question.
It doesn’t necessarily mean that it is a super expensive piece but it may just be that there is something unique or special that we would like to be able to tell you about in more detail.

These large figures have a very distinct and bold art style. The intricate wood carving, further decorated with fine gold lacquer details.
They depict a noble man and courtesan, both wearing very fine layer kimono and platform Geta, to elevate them from any puddles and to display status.
The female figure can be identified as a courtesan from her elaborate hairpins and obi which fastens at the front, the obi is lavishly decorated with a large koi carp swimming up a waterfall, the word Koi in Japanese sounds similar to the word for love so could hint a romance between the courtesan and nobleman.
Offered in very good condition. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for further information, photographs or to arrange a viewing.
