Nagatsune was from Tsuruga, Echizen, and his fathers used to vocate plated gold. I went up to Kyoto and became a disciple of takanaga takanaga, and the first inscription after independence was carved with snow mountain. When I was the age of, I made a screen fittings from Emperor Kokaku and appointed to echizen daiji. Nagatsune was the most rated metalwork in the Kansai region, and he was called ‘Songo in the east, Nagatsune in the west.’ This kiln is a quarter of a yoshizo, and the table is drawn with dysfunctional pine, and it is entangled with the kiln, and the kiln is stopped. The back is the moon of ariake in silver inlays. I’m still drawing a moment of calm and air that can’t end the night, with a wide margin. It is a masterpiece that can be understood by the high skill of the moon, even if you just watch the work of the moon. Nagatsune’s ukoko land is rare.
