Higo Zogan Mitsuke Japanese Traditional Craft Stone Wall Pattern Tie Pin

**Brand**

Kōsuke, a long-established maker of Higo Zōgan (Higo inlay), was founded in 1874 by the first generation, Ōsumi Iki, in Shinmachi, Kumamoto City.

Higo Zōgan originated in the early Edo period, and involved the technique of hammering pure gold and silver into iron to create sword guards (tsuba) and small daggers.

This technique was popular among samurai at the time, and Higo Zōgan tsuba were highly prized for their beauty and craftsmanship.

Kōsuke, with its history and tradition, creates a variety of works, including modern accessories, and is widely known for its high craftsmanship and beautiful designs.

**Design**

This is a unique Kōsuke design that abstractly depicts the stacked appearance of Kumamoto Castle's stone walls, rendered in a geometric pattern resembling scattered gold leaf.

The modern layout with gold shining against the black iron, combined with the beautiful chisel work of the craftsman, creates a beautiful design that adorns the V-zone.

It is a masterpiece that adds a touch of luxury and sophistication to suit styles.
