Nogawa's studio was founded in 1825 in Kyoto to make fine metalwork during the Meiji era. He participated in international expositions during the beginning in 1893 to the early years of the 20th century, and many of his pieces found their way into foreign collections, his bronze works exhibit the lavish and meticulous detail that hallmark the Meiji period.


Very good condition.
