Hi, could anyone please help in dating and just generally offering any additional information about these three antique Chinese brushes

1. they are not brushes

2. they are unlikely to be Chinese

3. they are also unlikely to be antique.

They are most probably all Japanese, and are used in the flower arranging - the pins allow a stalk to be held in a wide range of positions.

these aren't brushes~! They are the metal bases Japanese use in ikebana to support flowers/stick flowers into



URL Title :see link

These flower pinholders in Japanese are called
"Kenzan" 剣山、however, your ones seem to be Korean made (Hangul letters on the 1st pic.)

With regards,
I.Nagy
