"A classic work teeming with elegance of the 1st generation Hikozo. The hammered finish executed on the yamagane plate is illustrious. This design with the color tone of the piece, creates a perfect atmosphere. The large sukashi openings on each side add to the ambiance. Adorned with a solid silver Odawara ring which is delicately crafted and is a movable part that allows it to rotate slightly. The sekigane in top and bottom of nakago-ana creates a contrast that is truly sensational.
Overall, the rustic simplicity and finish of this masterpiece splendidly establishes the charm of Hikozo's characteristic works." (Haynes)
