"Kimon" Size: 1.52" Price: SOLD


Here's another amazing Oni (Japanese demon) head that John created, an amazing specimen that fills the entire marble with amazing beauty and glass tech. Amazing detail, with some sweet UV highlights, especially those eyes, WOW! This thing is so sinister that John had to create a cage to keep it inside and safe from the rest of your marbles, ha ha. The cage is a special one, with UV lights shining from BOTH sides - just twist them on and the dragon glows from within (see last pic)! While traveling in Japan, John will pick up special ink stamps from the stores there (which I got to do with him on our last trip to Japan), and then he decorates these cages with those cool stamps. I love the 3 skulls integrated into the cage as well. It's angled upwards as it sits there, for a perfect viewing angle. SO NICE!!! A truly amazing work of art from the glass legend. Signed with Kobuki's Kanji.
