| Deer have long been regarded as auspicious mythical creatures and symbols of longevity; those said to reach 1,500 years are called hakuro (white deer), and those of 2,000 years genroku (black deer). In this work, a lively male and female pair is charmingly depicted, highlighted by hira-zōgan inlays of silver and suaka. |
