Description

The Kirin resting in my fingers will give some scale to the figure. I carved this piece in ebony using the Netsuke technique called Ittobori (single blade). This means one knife is used to create the carving. The patina is developed entirely by the knife blade, no abrasives or polishes are involved in the surface finish.
