I received a message from an English-speaking bidder who was unable to understand the Japanese description, so I’m adding an English version below.
This is the Gashen Special Order Ysei Model, “Shisei” (獅星).
The design was inspired by Ysei, who was born under the zodiac sign Leo, and features a traditional Japanese karajishi (Chinese lion) motif.
On the back, I painted peonies, which are traditionally associated with karajishi in Japanese art.
This piece was created as a one-of-a-kind work, and I do not plan to make another piece with the same design.
Size W: approx. 6 cm H: approx. 4.3 cm
I am personally listing this piece on Yahoo! Auctions, so I hope you can feel comfortable bidding on it.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me before placing your bid.
Every piece is made and painted entirely by hand. Because of this, there may be slight variations in shape, color, or surface. I see these small differences as part of the character and beauty of handmade work, making each piece truly unique.
Please look carefully at the photos and make sure you are happy with the condition and size of the piece before bidding.
If you are looking for absolute perfection or are concerned about very small details, this piece may not be suitable for you.
Please note that cancellations cannot be accepted after the auction has ended, and all sales are final.
Payment should be completed within two days after winning the auction.
International bidders are very welcome. Please use a proxy purchasing service such as Buyee.
