A very fine carved kozuka from the great Somin with the famous design of “Shoki the demon queller”.
I don’t think that this kozuka will get a hozon paper because the signature seems to be gimei. However, the carving of Shoki and the little demon is very well made and looks lovely.
If the kozuka would be mumei it would get papers immediately.
