Very Fine Shibayama Paper Knife, Meiji.
A JAPANESE SHIBAYAMA PAPERKNIFE, MEIJI.

This paper knife is very much higher quality than those normally encountered. Some idea of this can been seen in the close-up photographs. There are some pieces of inlay missing but the piece is very well worth restoring.

One the side with the two boys in Chinese costume the only piece of inlay missing is the conical hat, the aperture now coloured red. One the other side, missing are two flower heads and the tip of a leaf.

Just a tad under 12 inches (30.2 cm) long.

I am based in the United Kingdom so charges made to credit cards are in GBP ( British Pounds ) and your credit card issuer automatically converts the charge to the currency of your country. Payment may also be made by direct bank transfer in GBP. I am sorry but I cannot accept a cash transfer payment by Western Union as I don’t have an office nearby.
