very nice set of new old stock umeki oire, japanese dovetail chisels, unusual and unused never been sharpened.
set of twelve with the chinese zodiac for the years engraved on them, each engraving is different, by Tadamasa
sizes are 48, 42, 36, 30, 23, 21, 17, 15, 12, 9, 6 & 3mm all roughly 218mm long
i have never seen a set of 12 before, and some unusual sizes
ebony handles, possibly it is rose wood
3 ura on the back and have no cutting edge yet so have never been sharpened, this style if not sharpening the blade fully went out of fashion about 20-30 years ago but I have no indication of how old they actually are.
