Antique Japanese Wallet/Tobacco Pouch with Silver Dragon Fish Fitting (Meiji/Taisho Period Antique)
This exceptional antique Japanese pouch features an intricately crafted silver mae kanagu (front fitting) showcasing a stunning Dragon Fish, or Ryugyo - a mythical hybrid with a dragon’s head, scales, and wings, but a fish’s body. This motif symbolizes strength, transformation, and perseverance, embodying the legendary carp’s ascent to become a dragon.
The pouch itself is elegantly crafted, measuring 20.8 cm wide and 12 cm high, with a rich patina that reflects its age and use. A rare, antique collectible of Japanese craftsmanship, perfect for collectors of samurai-era accessories, antique tobacco items, and fine Japanese metalwork.
Condition: The interior and upper corners on the outside may show signs of wear due to age.
