Miniatures

[Gordon Williamson]

I haven't seen much in the way of miniatures of Japanese awards. Picked this up recently for a song so its not a big deal either way, but does anyone have any opinions whether this is good or bad.

I have never come across fakes of these so I would say it is a goodie. Japanese miniatures are very scarce since they did not have a tradition of wearing them, hence the only people who ever bothered with them tended to be diplomats or officials who worked outside of Japan and needed them to conform to Western court norms.
