Subject:Mixed Metal Oni...Info, please!
Posted By: Jenn Mon, Dec 29, 2014 IP: 76.127.229.127

I am in possession of a mixed metal Japanese Oni wall hanging, measuring appx 41.5" h x 33" w, including frame. Any information, including value, would be greatly appreciated.

Signed 'Tomohisa', followed by a 'kakihan' (artist's mark).
Top quality Meiji era mixed metalwork.

Thank you, Guy! Would you happen to have any idea of what it's value might be?

I did read the signature initally as 'Tomohisa' but it must be pronounced in this context as 'Tomotoshi' (友壽).

For an auction record of a similar object by the same artist, see link below.
