          The head of this dragon shows fne details worked in uchidashi
          (translated literally as “hammered”), a special technique for creating
          three-dimensional, sculptural works from a thin iron sheet by
          hammering. The Myochin family of armorers was particularly
          skilled at this technique of uchidashi and the details on the present
          lot suggest that this dragon was made by the Myochin artist from
          the Edo period.
