THANKS FOR THE LINKS. I HAVE ALWAYS FOUND THE JAPANESE METAL WORK TO BE REMARKABLE BUT HAVE NEVER SEEN HOW IT WAS DONE. AFTER VIEWING THESE VIDEOS I SEE HOW DIFFICULT IT REALLY IS AND APPRECIATE SUCH WORK EVEN MORE.

Hi Guys, I've seen the utsushi and the original other half of the pair together "in the flesh" and you cannot tell that they are by different artists, they are stunning.

Regards, Graham.

Nice to see that there are artists around who can still (re)create such masterpieces.
