MENPŌ - Samurai Face Guard Ring, Hand Carved in Deer Antler by Fumio Noguchi
Meet the warrior on your finger!
Fumio Noguchi has transformed a piece of red deer antler into something special - a ring featuring the MENPŌ, the traditional face guard worn by samurai into battle.
As we often see with his best work, Fumio lets the antler do some of the talking. Parts are left beautifully raw and organic, while other areas are carved with care to reveal the fierce details of the mask. The contrast is striking. It feels ancient. It feels powerful.
A wonderful piece for anyone who loves Japanese history, samurai culture, or simply owning a piece of wearable art with a story to tell.
Take a close look at the photos to appreciate the detail of this piece.
This very cool ring is packaged in a woven kete pouch.
