<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9536159, member: 10944"]That is absolutely gorgeous!!!! I just bought my first one a few weeks ago. Wood with three insects missing their mop or stone. It’s one of the rings I have that I wish I had kyras skill for. I was thinking maybe I’d just try to ooze some shiny nail polish into the depressions. I’ll probably even mess that up. </p><p><br /></p><p>Came to say though that if you can afford to wait on sending your Japanese things to auction maybe you should. From what I understand by closely following the word of a prominent Asian art dealer the Japanese market is a shadow of its former self. Prices are extremely low on Japanese things vs. what they once were. I see a lot of nice Japanese things go cheap at the many auctions I participate in. Woodblocks seem to do pretty good but other stuff not as much. It may be worth waiting for the market to climb back up a bit if can. Just a thought.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
