At the age of 25 in 1652 (J\u014d\u014d 1), he succeeded as the 10th head of the Got\u014d main family. While the Got\u014d family had traditionally lived in Kyoto, during Renj\u014d\u2019s time (Kanbun 2), the family moved to Edo, where they remained until the 17th head, Tenj\u014d Mitsunori.<\/p>\n<p>Renj\u014d\u2019s work is a faithful continuation of his predecessors\u2019 style and is known for its excellence.<br \/>\nThis mitokoromono set features the kizukawa motif carved in full form and executed in a stately and elegant manner. It emphasizes the importance of equestrian arts in the code of the samurai (bushid\u014d).<br \/>\nAlthough unsigned, this set is attributed to Renj\u014d by the final Got\u014d head, Mitsunori, who issued a certificate (origami) for it. Works by Mitsunori are extremely rare, and his origami certificates are even rarer and valuable as historical documents.<\/p>\n<p>Comes in a paulownia box<br \/>\nIncludes appraisal certificate by Aoi Art<br \/>\nNBTHK Juyo  T\u014ds\u014dgu (44th)<br \/>\nOrigami certificate included<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/fittings\/2025\/F25622.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/fittings\/2025\/F25622.jpg\" alt=\"F25622 Image\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/fittings\/2025\/F25622paper-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/fittings\/2025\/F25622paper-1.jpg\" alt=\"F25622 Certificate Page 1\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/fittings\/2025\/F25622paper-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/fittings\/2025\/F25622paper-2.jpg\" alt=\"F25622 Certificate Page 2\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/fittings\/2025\/F25622paper-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/fittings\/2025\/F25622paper-3.jpg\" alt=\"F25622 Certificate Page 3\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/fittings\/2025\/F25622paper-4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/fittings\/2025\/F25622paper-4.jpg\" alt=\"F25622 Certificate Page 4\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Order Number: AF25622 Set of Tosogu (K\u014dgai, Kozuka, Menuki): Kizukawa Motif (44th Juyo Tosogu) With Origami (Ansei 6, Appraised by Mitsunori, value: 3 Mai 8 Ry\u014d) Signature: Mumei (Unsigned \u2013 Attributed to Renj\u014d \u7121\u9298\uff08\u5ec9\u4e57) Dimensions: K\u014dgai: 21.0 cm x 12.1 cm (8.27 in x 4.76 in) Kozuka: 9.63 cm x 1.44 cm (3.79 in x [&#8230;]\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":[],"class_list":["post-30194","product","type-product","status-publish","hentry","product_cat-fittings-en","product_cat-soroikanagu-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sword-auction.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/30194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sword-auction.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sword-auction.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sword-auction.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
