The watch is not included; the tin is offered on its own, as an art object. On the lid the girl stands against a pale wall of faint brickwork, hair cut in a heavy bob, eyes narrowed, one hand drawn behind her where a small blade just catches the light. The title runs above her in bold red capitals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA signature sits at the lower left of the lid and the year 1999 at the lower right, both in blue ink. The description gives the piece as a signed limited edition; the signature and date can be made out clearly in the photographs, and no edition number is stated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a two-part metal tin: a white printed lid and a deep base lined in bright steel, with the underside of the lid finished in white. Slash with a Knife dates from the last years Nara spent working in Germany, and it remains one of his most recognised images of a defiant child.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yoshitomo Nara\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slash with a Knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1999, as described\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eObject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Limited edition watch tin; the watch is not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Printed metal lid, steel-lined base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Offered as signed and dated by hand in blue on the lid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Limited edition as described; number not stated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Being confirmed against our archive records; please write to the Desk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light handling marks noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribed as free of noticeable marks or soiling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe description notes a few light scratches and scuffs from handling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior steel bright in the photographs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eA (excellent, very light signs of age)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/de\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSignature, date and edition are given as the description states them; no certificate is mentioned.
