Thank you for viewing our exclusive wood-crafted maedate, created and sold by Horishige Domiya, available only on Yahoo Auctions. This listing showcases the highest grade (Kiwami) maedate, representing Yamata no Orochi (Figure Model specification). Yamata no Orochi is a legendary creature from Japanese mythology, known for having eight dragon heads. It is said that when defeated by the male deity Susanoo, one of the three sacred treasures, the Kusanagi sword, appeared from its tail. Each of the eight dragon heads on this piece is uniquely crafted from a single body, featuring meticulous engraving of scales, with each head differing in shape which exemplifies the ultimate creation specification. This is one-of-a-kind offered in the highest tier specification. **Figure Model Specification:** While this product title states "maedate," it is different from standard maedate specifications; it is designed solely for display purposes as a figure model and cannot be used as a maedate unless modified after purchase. The modification process required means this listing is for the original body only with no additional processing included. **Glossy Color Specification:** This piece features special coloring that emulates a gold-plated appearance, producing a unique metal-like shine that outshines standard gold lacquer colors. **Website-linked Sales:** This item is also available for purchase on our website for the same price as listed in the auction, but please note that auction sales take precedence in case of simultaneous offer. **Shipping Information:** This item qualifies for free shipping and is made of various wood materials, including pine, aluminum, nails, and gilding paint. **Overview Dimensions:** Approximately 16cm x 18cm, height 25cm. Please read the entire product description thoroughly before bidding to ensure understanding and agreement on the terms. Bidding is based on the assumption that these explanations are recognized and agreed upon by the bidder.
