#Menuki by Ishiguro Masatsugu

Though Masatsugu was not one of the main Masters of the Ishiguro school, we can see that he was nevertheless a very worthy member of this top workshop of Machibori Sword Fittings!

Here is an example of his craft, a pair of Menuki based on Shibuichi with applications of copper, shakudo, gold, and silver. The design of 6 sparrows is executed with a high degree of detail and creates a dynamic impression of these cute birds in mid flight.
