"By
viewing nature, nature's handmaid, art, makes mighty things from
small beginnings grow."
John Dryden 1631-1700
There
are so many different styles of Takahashi Bird Pins. They also
created other pieces of jewelry to match the brooches. The Bird
Pins you will find in these pages are a sample of the different
styles that they crafted but not an exact representation of each
style that exists. If you want to know if you have a Takahashi
original we suggest that you call or visit the Japanese-American
Museum to speak with one of the curators about your "Takahashi
Hopeful" piece(s).
