A fine ivory netsuke of a one-horned dragon, by Tomokazu. 19th century

Coiling through swirling clouds, a whisp of breath emanating from the closed mouth, with broad flames rising from the joints, the tip of the tail in the shape of a double-edged sword blade, the scales on the body carefully rendered in decreasing and increasing sizes. The eye pupils of black horn. Signed Tomokazu in an oval reserve. gute Erhaltung
