You blokes are better than me on this.

I expect to see Japanese bronzes with that beautiful dark patina. When I look at this one I am reminded of nothing so much as a some Russian and German woodcarvings I have seen --- actually I own the German one.To my eye, the execution just does not look like the Japanese bronzes I have seen.

For you to be able to see through the lack of patina and still feel confident with a Japanese origin beats me hands down.
