Experience the Harmony of Art and Function with “Bunbō Shihō” – The Four Treasures of the Study

This exquisite bronze calligraphy set is the work of Shugoro Hasuda (蓮田修吾郎), a Japanese master metal artist and recipient of the prestigious Order of Culture. Known for his mastery of traditional casting techniques, Hasuda infused this piece with both functionality and profound artistic expression.
