Der Krieger unter der Kiefer
A Warrior with a Spear, Yasumasa
A Yasumasa kozuka of shakudo. Toward the lower end stands a warrior in full armour, raised high from the ground, his beard cut in fine lines. He holds a long spear upright beside him. Gold marks the fittings of his armour and the shaft of the spear. Below his shoulder a second, smaller figure looks up, lower in relief. Above them a pine spreads its needles in round clusters, and fine branches hang down beside it.
The back is plain shakudo. Near the lower end it is signed 保政, Yasumasa, with a kao.
An earlier version of this page read the smaller figure as a kneeling scholar. The kozuka names neither of them, and the collection leaves the subject open.
