Shigemitsu Sukashi Crane

LS032

Hayashi Shigemitsu, Edo period (1652-1729)    7.644 cm x 7.38 x 5,5 mm.   Excellent color and condition.  He was the son of Hayashi Matashichi, second master of the Hayashi school.  Ref. Haynes,  H.08343.0;  Nihon Toso Kinko Tai Jiten,  Vol III, page 294;   Higo Kinko Taikan pages 78 - 117;  Toso KodoguMeiji Taisei  Vol III,  page 294.  A classic Hayashi crane design, which is also found in early Akasaka.  Lacking the laminations would seem to rule  out consideration of Akasaka.                        $3,500
