Picked up a cool Beigoma set
« on: August 29, 2018, 02:43:08 PM »
I picked up this set from eBay. It's not a bad set at all. Comes in a wooden box, The points on the bottom are different one each one. It also came with that coin to use as a button on the string. My favorite thing about it is the pamphlet that came with it. Here's some pics

That's a real nice set. I agree, I love the pamphlet.

I saw on Mr. Fujita's Facebook thread that he was looking for an antique beigoma made from a shell, like in the drawing, for a movie I believe. If Uncle Koma doesn't have one (and I didn't see it in the Nagoya museum or in any of the other collections I have visited), they must be really rare. This is a photo from a book I posted before:

Wow now that is an amazing pic. I would love to own one of them, but if you have never seen one then my chances are really low.

Beautiful set! Mind my asking how much you paid?

Is that the Totoro set? They look great! I hope they play well, too.
