Description: Lovely portrait of a Japanese couple kneeling on a tatami mat. She turns slightly toward the Samurai who holds a fan in his hands, and has a sword in his waistband and one behind him mounted on a stand. Probably recased in leather from the traditional Japanese kiri wood case; inside the lid is a pearl, attached later. Found in Chile. Shipping and insurance costs will be added to the price and must be paid for by the buyer. Pennsylvania and New York buyers must pay appropriate sales tax. International clients are responsible for their VAT and other custom's oriented charges.
