Master Craftsman Mr.Yoshikazu GotoMr. Yoshikazu Goto was born in Hokone, Japan in 1935. Through the 45 years experience in wood working, he has achieved a skill level to produce a top quality Himitsu-Bako. His careful selection of material and his dedication to produce these masterpieces is the reason he has won many awards through the years.

This is a superb 9 step box by Mr Hiroyuki Oka.
The "lake" (Sansui) scene and the "dog" on the reverse are scene inlays accomplished by Mr. Koichi Yamaguchi.
The lake scene I think is really superb as
Mr Yamaguchi makes use of the sky colours in a
remarkable way.
The lovely mosaic is called "ITIMATU" and currently, only used by Mr Oka.
Just a few from my own collection !
