KYO-SUKASHI

"The open work of this design are the branches of a willow and two cranes in the lower quadrant. Other similar guards appear in the Akasaka and Higo groups, but this one is distinctively and abounding in a sense of Kyoto style. The fine quality of the metal and the charm of the design result in a bright total mood.

Attributed with a Hakogaki by Sato Kanzan (see below)." (Haynes)
