Original Message:   Not accidental - a comparison of the two styles
The Chinese goldfish bead is indeed about a hundred years newer than the Japanese examples, but the precision of the wirework on such a tiny thing seemed comparable. A more free-flowing naturalistic design vs brocade pattern - a difference in concept, not skill. Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
