Mikura Tsuge straight grained Heaped pieces
[By Shozan, Maki-Ryoko, 3 Kings]
[祥山作・巻菱湖・王3枚]
Price : 280,000 JPY
Product ID:S692
This is my favorite, the usual Eisui style Maki-Ryoko. I recommend all four of the major typefaces, but the bold, vigorous Ryoko is still wonderful, and I find myself ordering only Maki-Ryoko these days. The thickness of the characters, the balance of strength and weakness, and the finish is unquestionable. The work is finished with elegance and calmness.
Mikura Tsuge straight grained Heaped pieces
[By Hakusui, Minase]
[祥山作・水無瀬書]
Price : 280,000 JPY
Product ID:S685
Eisui style Minase, which was completed together with the piece above. This is a straight grain wood with clear annual rings, which has been ordered by many customers recently. It is material, which seems to be available everywhere, but is very difficult to find. The wood is very powerful, so we used large and bold Minase calligraphy to emphasize its solidity and strength. Shozan's work is graceful and elegant, and I like the taste of his brushwork everywhere.

[By Shozan, Kinki, 3 Kings]
[祥山作・錦旗・王3枚]
Price : 280,000 JPY
Product ID:S672
This natural wood has a candy-colored, slightly hazy appearance. The grain is tight and elegant, and the wood is of a professional quality. The typeface is ordered in a slightly fine and small size to accentuate the quality of the wood. This piece has a calm atmosphere.
Mikura Tsuge red straight grained Heaped pieces
[By Shozan, Kinki, 3 Kings]
[祥山作・錦旗・3王]
Price : 380,000 JPY
Product ID:S695
Shozan's work is known for its time-consuming and careful work. I am looking at it carefully with a magnifying glass, and the use of lacquer is smooth and elegant. The typeface is a gentle and easy-to-read Kinki. The wood is an attractive and elegant red grain, a top quality wood for professional use. The wood's withered taste, fine grain, brightness, and color are all excellent, and the heaping up is the work of a master craftsman.
Satsuma Tsuge lightning figured Heaped pieces

[祥山作・巻菱湖・王3枚]
Price : 400,000 JPY

I am in love with Shozan's Maki-Ryoko. I had it made with perfectly patterned, dark-colored Satsuma wood. The photo shows two Kings, but it is a piece set of three Kings.
