Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2016 https://archive.org/details/japanesecollecti01tomk A Japanese Collection A JAPANESE COLLECTION IN TWO VOLUMES VOLUME I MADE BY MICHAEL TOMKINSON LONDON ： GEORGE ALLEN 156 CHARING CROSS ROAD MDCCCXCVIII Printed by Ballantyne, Hanson & Co. At the Ballantyne Press PREFACE. HIS volume contains brief notices of many thousands of objects, which, while differing as to the material of which they are composed, the treatment to which the material has been subjected, and the date of their production, are yet alike in representing the art of Japan, though under very varied aspects. I use the word ‘‘ art ’’ advisedly. The common phrase l< Japanese curios," so often employed by those who are ignorant of Japanese art, is an unconscious betrayal of their estimate of its value. No one would speak of ‘‘ Roman ’’ or Gothic " curios, for a knowledge of the history of European art is not necessary for the appreciation of those specimens of fine design and workmanship, pro- duced under the patronage of a Roman emperor or a mediaeval ecclesiastic, which have come down to us. These objects owe their preservation for the most part to accident, but in the study of the various branches of Japanese art we meet with a great number of pieces which have always been carefully preserved, with a regard amounting almost to veneration, on the strength of their artistic merit. And yet these wonderful specimens of lacquer, of metal-work, and of carving have not been relegated to museums, but have played their part in the life and ceremonial of Japan. In spite of this they retain in many cases their pristine beauty, a fact due to the perfect workmanship lavished upon them, and still more to the habits of their owners, who realised that care was as much needed for their preservation as for their creation. Thus we find I nro, Suzuri-bako, and many other objects, which, after two centuries, are to all appearance fresh from the artist’s hands. It is quite possible that many who are not unobservant of the art of Europe have never seen any of the finer productions of Japan, but derive their ideas on this subject from the cheap articles made for the European market, which a few years ago crowded the windows of the fancy shops. To judge of Japan by this evidence alone would be like regarding Parian statuettes and the atrocities of the modern Italian statuary mason as representative of the European ideal of sculpture. Much that has been written on Japanese art by the presumably well-informed is absolutely valueless, although it may have received favourable treatment from the critics pen ; but the attempt to discuss any Western art with such unmistakable ignorance of first principles as is displayed by these writers on Japan would bring down speedy condemnation. The Japanese does not recognise an abstract Art with a big A, but finds it allied vm PREFACE. with nature, and realises its adaptability to the common objects of domestic life no less than to the Kakemono, or water-colour drawing on silk, which is the nearest equivalent to the "picture," representing to too many almost the only legitimate expression of art. It is true that Japan is not destitute of examples of the fine arts technically so called — painting, sculpture, and architecture. But oil-paintings in frames, life-sized statues of the idealised nude, and monumental structures in stone do not figure in the scheme of Japanese civilisation. Their homes have no space for framed pictures ; the human figure has never appealed to them as it did to the Greeks ; and their architecture, in a land where seismic disturbance is common, must needs adapt itself to a trembling base. One might say that in the islands of Japan the earth is nervous and the people calm and philosophic ; whereas in the West the land is stable enough, but the nerves of the people are disturbed by trifles, and mental earthquakes are as common among them as are seismic phenomena in the Land of the Rising Sun. Schools and styles in favour with us to-day may be cast aside as obsolete at the bidding of fashion, but the Farthest East — with social conditions, racial temperament, and physical forces entirely unlike those of the West — has been until recently true to its ideals. The highly developed civilisa- tion of old Japan, which is so faithfully mirrored in its art, must receive some attention before a full appreciation can be attained of the masterpieces of the artists who lived and worked under the ancien regime. A feudal system, analogous to that of Europe during the Middle Ages, prevailed in Japan till 1868, and many of the master-craftsmen lived and worked under the protection of the daimio, or lord, to whose court they were attached. This collection, which has gradually been accumulated, had its origin in a few really fine objects purchased some twenty years ago. These pieces still retain an important place among the thousands which have been gathered round them, and the high standard of excellence which they instituted has been maintained as rigorously as possible. The art of Japan has been called the art of the bibelot, and its masterpieces hav^e been lightly dismissed as bric-a-brac ; but if mere size is an essential characteristic of art, the Japanese can yet compass the artistic, witness the colossal Buddhas cast in bronze centuries ago, which are to be seen at Nara and Kamakura. In modern times likewise the Japanese can execute his work on a large scale, as the life-size bronze figure supporting a perforated bowl, which stands in the centre of the museum, bears witness. Some there are who hold that the introduction of Western ideas has killed the artistic instinct of a race which has been more nearly a nation of artists than any the world has ever seen, if we except the Greeks. This supposition surely rates too low the refined taste of the educated Japanese. The glitter and novelty of Western art may for the moment have led to experiments not invariably successful ; but it must be remem- bered how the art of stencilling, comparatively new to Japan, was soon carried to a pitch PREFACE. ix of excellence far exceeding that attained by Western races ; and again, that chromo- lithography, collotype, and other modern processes have already been, not merely- mastered, but improved upon by the Japanese. Should the Japanese care to take the arts of Europe seriously, doubtless his productions in that direction will soon occupy a foremost place ; but there are signs that the real tradition of the country, its matchless lacquer, its beautiful enamels, and its marvellous metal-work, will maintain the splendid level reached long ago. For to-day Japan has the sons of her great artists, dowered as were their forefathers with artistic perception and technical skill ; and the chain of masterpieces which, link by link, reaches back so far, is not yet broken. If the opening up of the country and the influx of Western thought do not disturb the tradition, we may safely conclude that the chain will be extended, and that in the future, Japanese art of the nineteenth century will be seen to be worthy of as high a place as that of any former period. It may manifest itself in new directions, but the essence will survive. This collection has not been limited to antique specimens, and in no case has mere rarity been a sufficient passport for admission. While in most instances the various objects are typical examples of the finest work of old Japan, others are set among them to show that even in these days the hand of the artist has in no wise lost its cunning. In the transliteration of Japanese words into English characters several systems have been successively used during recent years ; students are hence by no means in agreement, some continuing to follow the older methods. In this catalogue the system given by Dr. Hepburn in the last edition of his English-Japanese Dictionary has been generally adhered to ; but owing to the fact that the various contributors to this volume have adopted various systems, exceptions are not infrequent ; they are, however, chiefly confined to the syllables dyo, gyd, kyo, kyd, and myd, which in several instances are written with i instead of y. My thanks are due to those of my friends who have contributed short accounts of the various arts of Japan illustrated in this collection. These introductions are especially valuable, as each contributor has made a special study of the subject upon which he writes. The excellent reproductions of the Swan Company, Messrs. W. H. Ward & Co., and Messrs. Griggs & Sons speak for themselves, and it is gratifying to find that work of such excellence can be produced in England without having to seek the aid of Paris or Berlin. Should the Catalogue of this collection lead to the increased study of the arts of Japan by my own countrymen, and induce a further application of them to our manufac- turing industries, the labour of the compiler will not have been in vain.

The choice depends mainly, I think, on two things 一 first, whether the collector possesses special technical knowledge of any particular branch of art work ; and next, what space he has available for his collections. Where space is a consideration I have no hesitation in deciding for the Inro, or medicine-box. The advantage of a collection of Inro is this, that it contains exceptionally fine examples of the art in which the Japanese have been for centuries without a rival 一 that of the lacquerer. The beauty of the workmanship strikes the most unlearned observer ; the very sensation of handling a choice specimen — a plain black one, for instance 一 is in itself a pleasure. The eminent Inro-makers — of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries especially — were fond of selecting designs from among the works of celebrated painters of almost every school, so that we have, in small compass, examples of the styles of art prevalent from time to time in Japan. Many of these designs are, moreover, illustrations of the history, mythology, folk-lore, scenery, and daily life of Japan, and oi its poetry and fiction, while in many instances the lacquerer gives the name of the designer. No. 118 in the following Catalogue is after Hanabusa Itcho, one of the celebrities of the earlier Ukiyo-ye, or popular school of painting. Nos. 222 and 310 are after Hogen Yeisen, the great master of the Kano school in the sixteenth century, a school which holds, in Japanese art, a similar position to the early Italian or German art among us. No. 307 is after Hoitsu, a priest, a follower of the Korin school of design in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and so on. We have examples of landscapes of the earlier or Chinese school ; views of Lake Biwa (No. 56, &c.) and other places in a later style ; the stations on the great Tokaiclo road, with their names (No. 171) ; subjects, both landscapes and figures, from the famous ancient poem or novel, the Genji Monogatari (No. 95, &c.) ; the story of Rosei (No. 669), who, in a dream of a few minutes, passed through a great official career, and awoke cured of ambition. The very method of representing this dream is worth observing, for the events are shown on a Drilliant black ground by figures in dull black, most delicately executed. Amon^ the historical personages we find the Empress Jingo, and her no less famous minister Takenouchi (No. 643), with the tide-ruling gems which enabled her to invade and conquer Corea. The great poet Hitomaru (No. 138^ also is represented, ana the poet still more widely knov/n 一 the handsome Narihira, gazing on Fujiyama (No. 262), the subject of one of his poems. Taikobo, the Chinese minister, is seen fishing without a hook (No. 159 )； another Chinese sage ; K\vosekiko ; communicates ms wisdom to Ch 5 rio, who humbly restores to the old man the shoe that has fallen from his foot (No. 488, &c.) ; and Shoki, the demon-queller (No. 843, &c.), hunts his enemies the Oni， or demons. These Chinese legends are all domiciled and adopted in Japan, the names of the heroes and sages being transliterated into Japanese. The very Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove (No. 7) are Chinese epicureans, who managed to combine the pursuit of pleasure with a reputation for gravity and wisdom. We have also the Tengu, with their bird-like heads and wings, who taught Yoshitsune to fence (No. 562) ; the Old Man with a Rake, and the Old Woman with a Broom, representing the Spirits of the Pines of Takasago and Sumiyoshi (No. 70, &c.) ; the Gods of Good Fortune, separately or in groups; No Dancers and Manzai (No. 552); Street Performers of the Dai Kagura or Shishi-Mai (No. 118), with the grotesque mask of the lion's head; Saru Mawashi, or Monkey Exhibitors (No. 542), and other illustrations of the life of the people, including their agricultural operations. The flowers, birds, and animals form another group, being for the most part emblematical, and it is necessary to bear in mind that there are few of the usual Japanese decorative designs that are not emblematical, or that do not refer to some well-known poem or tradition (see Myths and Legends, under Emblems). It seems to be a matter of uncertainty as to when the Inro was first used in Japan, but it cannot have been generally worn before the netsuke also became common, and that is usually stated to have occurred about the latter part of the sixteenth century. There is no doubt that many Inro are of as early a date as that, from their somewhat rude and archaic style, combined with evident skill in lacquering, and their decoration is unmistakably in the Chinese manner. It would seem, however, that there is a general agreement to take the time of Koyetsu (the latter part of the sixteenth century) as that when the Inro first took up an important position as a work of art. I have seen no Inro attributed to Koyetsu that in any way justified the eulogies bestowed on his work by some writers ; but probably I have seen no fair example of it. But of the merits of his pupil, Tsuchida Soyetsu, there can be no question. He continued working until he was a very old man, and we often find his age added to his signature, as in No. 347, where he is stated to be eighty-eight years old. It is doubtful whether any of the Inro-makers before him ever signed their works, the signature of Koyetsu being probably added subsequently by a pupil or expert, as was the case with many of the sword-guards, &c., of the Goto. The information available in any European language respecting the Inro-makers and their work is exceedingly meagre, nor does the Shoken Kisho^ add much to our knowledge, the names given being so few in number, and the dates still fewer. Those given here must therefore be taken as approxi- mative only, precise dates being so rarely obtainable. Soyetsu and his immediate successors frequently inlaid their Inro with lead or lead alloys, and with mother-of-pearl, the latter being applied in narrow strips, laid vertically, whether the outline was that of a flower or an animal. Korin, however, frequently cut out the object in a single piece of mother-of-pearl, or, at any rate, used larger and more irregularly-shaped pieces, which were also of considerable thickness. They were imbedded in the ground-work of the lacquer, so as to produce a design in sensible relief. Many of the objects are so very conven- tional in their forms that it is sometimes difficult to guess what they were intended to represent, but as to the exceeding beauty of his grounds of mat go)d there is but one opinion. The il Korin gold ,> fully merits its reputation, and was a worthy object of imitation. His signature is frequently found scratched on the outsiae of the lid of the Inro ; still more frequently will it be found forged, as in No. 245. The two most illustrious names among the older Inro-makers are those of Koma and Kajikawa. The Koma were lacquerers to the Ashikaga Shogun, Yoshimasa, in the fifteenth century, and the Kajikawa were the official lacquerers to the Tokugawa Shogun down to a very late date. Koma Kiuhaku is the first of his family whose name appears on Inro, in the early part of the seventeenth century, and he was followed by several others of varying excellence down to the end of the last century, when Koma Kwansai produced work in every way worthy of the great reputation of the family. Koma Kiuhaku was great in every style of lacquer, and it was a characteristic of the Inro of the Koma and of their school that the linings were often red, and the risers of mat gold, instead of being in nashiji. Both they and the Kajikawa also used black linings and risers, while those of Korin were of mat gold. The Koma were famous for their coloured decorations, in which the design, looked at by oblique light, often appears to be of gold, while an examination by direct light shows it in most brilliant colours. The Koma red is very rich, and, seen by oblique light, has a steely sheen. It was at this period also that the fine togidashi work made its appearance on Inro, and was carried to great perfection by the Koma, the Kajikawa, and their followers. In this work the design is not bounded by a rigid outline, but has rather the appearance of a pastel drawing, and is brought out by a series of rubbings, requiring extraordinary skill and judgment. The great master of togidashi was, however, Yamamoto Shunsho, whose Inro are somewhat rare, especially signed ones. Shiomi Masanari's work is frequently offered as that of Shunsho, for he also was famous for his togidashi ; but his signature, in seal character, will generally be found in the angle formed by the tube for the cord and the face of the Inro. The first of the Kajikawa Inro-makers was Kajikawa Kiujiro, about the middle of the seventeenth century 一 an admirable artist, who has been followed by many others of his family, producers of excellent work, but of none, I think, equal to that of its founder. His early work was very much in the style of Soyetsu and of Korin, whose mat gold he sometimes imitated with great skill. I know of no list of the Kajikawa even tolerably complete ; and as several of them used the kakihan or seal of Kajikawa 1 ., it is difficult to distinguish their works ; and even when they do use a special kakihan, they usually sign “ Kajikawa ” only. Kajikawa Hogetsu is completely a follower of Korin, and signs ms name, as do also Hidetaka and Hisataka, a very clever Kajikawa of the nineteenth century. It is a moot point whether the Koma or the Kajikawa were the greater artists as lacquerers. Personally, I should be inclined to place them as Inro-makers on a perfectly equal footing, for I know of nothing more beautiful in lacquer than the works of both, nor have I ever seen togidashi by Shunsho superior to that by Koma Kiuhaku. One of the most remarkable styles is that of Ritsuo (Nos. 108, 122, &c.), living between 1663 and 1747. It is seen to least advantage on his Inro, from the limited space ; but he employed pottery, metal, and modelling up in a very bold manner, with remarkable skill and effect. His pupil, Hanzan, was another who encrusted his work with pottery and with carved mother-of-pearl in a very fine style, but less daring and original than that of his master, ms subjects being usually fish and shells in mother-of-pearl, coloured ivory and porcelain. Both he and Rusuo (who authorised him to use his seal) often signed their works on small plaques of porcelain， although I have never met with Hanzan’s Inro so signed. Yosei, whose works are often confounded with those of Hanzan when unsigned, was a contemporary. M.Gonse says that he introduced the Tsuishu ; or carved red lacquer ； from China ; but I think this must be an error, and that it belongs to an earlier period than the first half of the eighteenth century. Some of the earlier and unsigned Inro are decorated with mosaic work of awabi (Haliotis) shell, very rich in colour 一 a mode introduced from China. One of the best known of the later workers in this style was Chohei (1605-1649), better known as Aogai Ch6hei (“aogai” means blue shell). This kind of decoration, little esteemed by the more aesthetic Japanese amateurs, was brought to great perfection in the nineteenth century, but is rarely signed, and is, for the most part, more remarkable as a wonderful example of manual skill and of patience than for any other merit, except that the black lacquer ground is invariably of the highest excellence. It will be seen from the Catalogue that Inro were made of a great variety of materials 一 metal, ivory, pieces of bamboo in their natural state, tortoiseshell, carved cocoa-nut, staghorn, and of wood, carved or decorated with lacquer. The metal Inro had usually silver boxes, enclosed in an outer case of metal, which we find decorated by eminent chasers of the seventeenth century, like Yasuchika (No. 386), or Hamano Kuzui (No. 133). Inro of bark, especially of cherry bark (sakura omote) are by no means uncommon, and are often decorated, as will be seen in the Catalogue (No. 345, &c.), by very eminent lacquerers. The Tsuishu and Tsuikoku (carved red and black lacquer) Inro are rarely signed. No. 17 bears the name of Chokwan, but I do not remember a signed piece of an earlier date than the nineteenth century. The art is of Chinese origin, but has been greatly improved by the Japanese. Another Chinese lacquer is the Guri (Nos. 37, 237, &c.) ; made by a succession of layers of variously coloured lacquers, which are cut through with V-shaped grooves, so as to show the successive strata. These are usually of dull yellow, dark red, and black ; bui in some of the later seventeenth century Inro the colours are lighter and brighter, and flat surfaces are formed by cutting away the upper layers, so as to show a design of various colours, the details being made out by carving. Wakasa lacquer (No. 63) is usually made by impressing leaves or fibrous material on the soft putty-like ground of the lacquer, removing them when the putty is hard, and so leaving a mould of them. The surface is covered with thin foil, pressed into all the hollows, and 11 is then coated with coloured lacquer. Tms, when hard, is rubbed down until the surface of the foil on the projecting parts is nearly laid bare, showing like metallic gold, the depressions being of various depths of colour, according to the thickness of the lacquer. Chinkinbori (No. 226) is made by engraving the design upon black lacquer, usually with a rat's tooth, which is less easy to blunt than a steel point. Gold is then rubbed into the lines, and this style of decoration is not infrequent on the risers of Inro, especially on those of Yosei, Hanzan, and Chokei. The outsides are also decorated in chinkinbori, but not commonly, one of the most skilful artists in that style being Giokucho, of the present century. Surihagashi lacquer (No. 55) has a coating of red over black, or vice versa } the upper layer being rubbed off in parts, as the name implies. It is sometimes called tortoiseshell lacquer in England. These are but a few of the varieties of lacquer found upon Inro, and their decoration is almost equally varied. Besides the style of incrustation practised by the early workers, and by Ritsuo and his school, we find on the Inro of the eminent masters of the latter part of the eighteenth and first half of the nineteenth centuries, groups or single figures in metal ； elaborately inlaid with other metals. Not the least surprising part of the work is the accuracy with which the parts come together, so that the section of the metal is often invisible without the most careful inspection. Shibayama (Dosho), No. 68, who worked much with Shokwasai and Kakosai, introduced ivory for the flesh of the figures, and very admirable indeed are some of the minute faces. A luxury of incrustation followed, carried out by various Shibayama, the family continuing still to work, and although the classicist scorns these pictures in colour, the skill shown in the selection and application of the various tinted layers of shell, the minute beads of coral, the mosaic of malachite, tortoiseshell, &c., and the artistic composition of the picture are all worthy of admiration. It is impossible to go through such a collection as is here catalogued without being convinced that it is a great, although a very common, mistake to suppose that the making of Inros of the highest class ceased after the end of the eighteenth century. The style of decoration may have changed, as fashions change ; but in the first quarter of the present century we find Chohei well representing the school of Ritsuo, and Kwanshosai Toyo and his pupil Kakosai with Shokwasai, Ydyusai, Jokasai, and others, continuing the best traditions of the Koma and Kajikawa schools. And, finally, we have Shibata Zeshin, whose work may safely be placed by the side of the great masters of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Born in 1807, he died in 1891, and was a pupil of Koma Kwansai, studying painting as well as lacquering under the man who revived the glories of the Koma school. We doubtless owe to Zeshin’s enthusiastic admiration for the old painters the artistic feeling that characterises his work ; but as a lacquerer he stands perhaps unrivalled for his versatility, and for his power of adopting the style of almost any master without slavish imitation. A large and very characteristic series of his works will be found in the following pages, fully justifying the eulogistic notices of him which appeared at the time of his death. The more I see of Inro the more I feel how much is to be learnt from them, and about them and their makers. It seems to me that what looks at first sight like a hyperbolic dictum of M. Gonse is merely a simple truth: ^ Japanese lacquered objects are the most perfect works that have issued from man’s hands.” E. GILBERTSON. I N R 〇 . 1. Lacquer.

Some masters were experts in various styles of lacquering, Jokasai, for instance, whose work it is very often difficult to distinguish from that of Kajikawa. Zeshin, again, was equally skilful in many styles, and in that of Ritsuo he only differs from his great predecessor in the more modern and refined treatment and choice of his subject. The great masters of togidashi also require to be compared with each other, so as to be able to distinguish between the works of Shunsho, Shiomi Masanari, Shigeyoshi, &c. For these reasons I have sometimes recommended a comparison with the work of some other master whose name appears in the Catalogue. I have preserved the orthography of proper names as they exist in the numerical Catalogue, to avoid confusion, and have arranged them alphabetically for convenience of reference. The numbers of all the pieces by the same master appear under his name, but I have only mentioned those which seemed to me to call for special remark. I have dealt with the unsigned works separately, giving only the numbers of those to which I desire to call special attention, and have also given the metal Inro that are signed a division apart from the others.

He worked at Yedo in the second half of the eighteenth century, and was lacquerer and Inro- maker to the Court, being famous for his giobu nashiji, the linings of many of his Inros being remarkably rich in colour and effect. His larger pieces of lacquer are very perfect and beautiful in style, so that it is difficult to say whether he or the more celebrated of the Komas should be preferred, the works of both leaving nothing to be desired. Although his descendants continued working until far down into the nineteenth century, much work of a very inferior order bears the name of Kajikawa, two only of them, Hidetaka and Hisataka, having achieved any eminence. The first Kajikawa rarely added his personal name, Kiujiro, but only signed Kajikawa, usually with the addition of his seal, in the form of a vase. But this mode of signature, and the seal, with slight variations of form, was largely used by his descendants, and probably by many pupils. There are ten or twelve modifications of the seal, so that it is very difficult to decide as to which of the Kajikawas a given work belongs when the personal name is not added. Many fine Inro by the first Kajikawa are unsigned, especially the large ones, assumed to have been made for some of the great daimios. His work is generally exquisitely finished, and he was partial to the employment of elaborate kirikane work, the whole groundwork being sometimes covered with it. This work is usually described as u giobu, but it most certainly cannot be called u giobu nasmji. 1 ' This latter term I take to be applicable to his linings, where rather large and irregularly shaped pieces of leaf gold appear on the surface of the nashiji. Another rich lining, first used by him I think, is produced by gilding an indented or roughened surface, and covering it with lacquer coloured with dragon^ blood or other similar pigment, producing rich tones graduated by the varying thickness of the lacquer, from red gold to rich brown. 15 一 This is not by the first Kajikawa ; he treated the tree stems differently. 85 一 Children playing in the snow. The silver lacquer is very good, and F 34 Century. the patterns on the children’s dresses are a mosaic of gold foil, all the work being fine. 90 一 Primulas, on a black ground, the ends of kirikane work ; a good example of the aristocratic Inro. 112 — Geese and Reeds, in shell, gold, and silver.

The style is more like that of one of the Komas than of Kajikawa. 482 — Hawks on a black ground, in gold and shell, in the second style of Kajikawa. 495 一 Riverside Plants, in gold and colour, on a black ground ; very fine, with a rich lining. 501 一 Wild Boar asleep in the Thicket ; gold, in low relief, the gold of various colours.

His younger brother was the famous potter Kenzan. As a lacquerer Kworin was especially famous for the beautiful quality of his gold, which has a remarkable softness and richness of colour, and often has minute specks of metallic gold dusted upon it. His linings were generally of gold, and the ornamentation of his Inro in lead, or mother of pearl, raised considerably above the surface of the gold ground. Sometimes we find designs in gold lacquer upon the shell, producing very telling effects, but too frequently his designs are far too conventional and rude, even to being unintelligible. 1 he result was that his style was forged with little difficulty as regards Inro, to which it was quite unfitted. To be appreciated Kworin must be studied in his larger works, his perfume boxes, and his ink boxes. His signature is usually found scratched in the inside 01 his Inro, and sometimes he signed Seisei Kworin. 145 一 A Daimi6’s Carriage, peculiar and remarkable, signed Seisei Kworin. 407 — Fukurokuju and Deer, in shell and lead, the face of Fukurokuju is engraved. 483 — Shell, lead, and gold, on gold ground, the signature, Hokyo Kworin, forged.

He had two names, Kwan and Naoyuki. His common or popular name was Kinya, afterwards changed to Heisuke, while his artist names were Bokwanshi and Muchuan. He was a poet and painter as well as a lacquerer, and very eccentric in his mode of life. His work is not seen to advantage in Inro, the surface being too small for most of his designs ; but many of them are remarkably clever, as are also his netsukes, and he very frequently introduces pottery into his works, as well as imitations of wood or stone in lacquer. Very frequently his signature is on a minute plate of pottery. His great pupil was Hanzan. 122 — Wood, with an Elephant in pottery, mother of pearl, and lacquer ; very characteristic. 128 — Toba, and on the reverse a Bamboo in pottery, lead, shell, and gold lacquer. 218 一 Crane and Pine, in pottery and lead. 345 — On bark ; an unusual style for him. 422 — Daruma, in pottery and red lacquer, on black. 462 一 Kiku, in gold and pottery, on black ; more minutely finished than usual ; a very remarkable piece. 687 一 Imitating a slab of sumi (Indian ink). The rendering of the ornamentation of the cake and its broken edges must excite the wonder of every one who knows how lacquer work is made. It should be compared with a similar work by Zeshin, Mo„ 748. 744 一 Another slab of ink, the border in a sort of leather grain. 745 — KinKo, in coloured ivory and mother of pearl, very bold and fine, signed Ritsuo. Note. 一 Kinko was a Rishi, who, on taking leave of his disciples, announced that on a given day he would come again, rising from the river. This he did appearing on a gigantic carp. 746 — Hotei ; very characteristic. 758 — Copies of a Tsuba (sword guard), two tangs of swords, and two menuki. The tangs are signed Tayema and Rai Minamoto, aged 78. They were fourteenth century sword-makers.

It is difficult to separate the work of the various men, but the elder Shibayama worked much with Shokwasai, Kwanshosai, the Kajikawas, and other Inro-makers at the beginning of the nineteenth century, furnishing the ivory heads, heads, &c., to their figures, and these minute faces are wonderful in their expression. In later years the fashion ran rather to the minute and rich specimens of inlaying pictures of birds, flowers, &c., in mother of pearl, tortoise, and awabi shell, coral, malachite, &c. Sometimes the name of Shibayama appears with that of the lacquerer, and on many of the ivory Inros, encrusted ones especially, we find it alone. Century. 149 — Ivory.

A N ENCYCLOPAEDIA published in Tokio some few years since, quoting from the u Shikiso^ an old Japanese work, says “ Yamato-Dake, a celebrated warrior who died A.D. 113, carried, attached to the scabbard of his sword, a bag containing flint and steel ; this bag was called Hi-uchi-bukuro.” At a later period we find that seals and medicine were also stored in a receptacle of this kind. The seal was of great importance and of general use. From the 17th Century its impress has been affixed to documents, in place of, or in addition to, the signature, lhis custom was introduced, as were many others, from China at a remote period, and, as you know, the Japanese are likewise indebted to their Celestial neighbours for in- struction in man} 7 arts : to-day they are endeavouring to return the compliment by teaching the Chinese the art of modern warfare. The original seal boxes or Inro In"' meaning seal, and u ro^ case) were square, and frequently took the form of a nest of boxes of from two to five divisions, and generally of carved lacquer about 3^- inches square. In this box was kept the seal or seals and also a pad for stamping the impression. I am dwelling a minute on the seal box as from it we obtain the familiar word Inro. In this early time another receptacle for medicine was also used, called Yakuro (Yaku meaning medicine) ; this was generally shaped like a covered bowl and with the seal box formed part of the decorative arrangement in the Toko-no-ma. The Toko-no-ma is a raised recess reserved for conventional decoration, and is found in every Japanese house to-day as it was in the time of the Ashikaga Shoguns in the fifteenth century. The early seal boxes were square, but the Kokkwa (a monthly art magazine which is published in Tokio) quotes an extract from a book written by Soami and Noami, painters and critics of fine art, in the year 1476, accompanied by drawings of various seal boxes (Inro) which show that not only square but also round shapes were then used. From these early boxes, used for seals and placed with objects in the Toko-no-ma, came the appellation Inro because these shapes were adopted ; and the majority of Inro follow with modifications these forms. In the Keicho period, 1596 一 1611, the use of the Hi-uchi- bukuro or bag I first mentioned was partially discontinued, and the portable medicine box called Inro came into fashion and general use ; prior to this date there is no record of Inro being worn suspended by a cord from the obi or sash. The earliest Inro we have any certain information about date from early in the seventeenth century and were doubtless made of lacquer. We have examples here of Inro of this period 一 many have an encrusted decoration in metal (generally silver), dragons and other mythical subjects on lacquer. These Inro are rarely signed, but No. 103 is signed Kizo, and dated 1646. This signature is engraved on the lacquer, and I find in a book published 1878, the Kogei Shino (a handbook ot Japanese 國 酸 A PAPER ON INRO: READ BEFORE THE JAPAN SOCIETY, LONDON, i^th rEBRUAFY, 180 ^. ；-r ENCYCl 一 : P 忍 DIA pubJsh 巧 d in T6kio some fe'-\ years since,, quoting from the “ a i oki 丄 又 Japanese work, says レ ' • .d to-Dak ^， a celebr い: ed warrior wl died A.D # 1.13, cixne.- ： l, attached lh 〇 scabbard of his sword, a bar c< 彳 aimng ft’nt an stee: ; tms bag called Iikuch い bukiiro，’ At a perio we find that seals and mtdicine we,:e also stored in re . ptacie of kind.

Number 959, signed by Igarashi Doho, also was undoubtedly made very early in the seventeenth century. Other kinds of lacquer were also used, and there are specimens in the collection in Suri-hagashi, or rubbed lacquer ; this consists of a coat of red lacquer on black, in places the red is rubbed down exposing the under layer ot black 一 also in Raden — an inlay of awabi shell and gold, and in 224 we have a combination of the two on a nashiji or aventu- rine ground. Later (although the majority of 丄 nro were made in lacquer) we find other materials employed， various metals, faience and porcelain, carved wood, ivory, and a fungus called by the Japanese Reishi (sacred fungus), and often spoken of as Sam no koshi-kake (monkey’s chair)， also shagreen made of fish skin, occasionally the bark of trees, and (but rarely) rock crystal and agate. Sometimes the Inro itself is in silver or other metal and the outer case in lacquer or vice versa . 1 he Inro was worn suspended by a silken cord from the obi or sash, and, to prevent it slipping through the girdle there is attached to the cord a toggle called a Netsuke. lhe earliest Netsuke of which we can find any description were small gourds dried, sometimes lacquered ; later, other materials were used, wood, ivory, rock crystal, agate, onyx, cloisonne enamel, metal, nuts and other substances elaborately carved. 7 Many netsuke are gems of art work delighting everyone. At the sides of the Inro are holes as guides for the cord, occasionally the guides are in silver, attached to the lacquer. Between the Inro and the netsuke is a bead called ojime, which gathers both cords together, and can be moved either way ; these little objects, these ojime, are often exquisite examples of great works on a small scale. With the Inro was often worn in the girdle a pouch called Kinchaku for carrjdng seals, keys and money ; and also the Tabako-ire, a pouch, as its name denotes, for carrying tobacco, which was introduced about 1680. A wallet was used early in the eighteenth century, carried in the folds of the kimono, or dress — the Inro and kinchaku then became less fasmonable, and the Inro was less frequently worn except as a decorative appendage on occasions of state and ceremony. It is fortunate for collectors that this change took place, as with such hard usage as is indicated by the condition of many of the early Inro, the valuable examples of the great lacquerers would have lost their rare artistic Deauty. Lacquer was preferred for Inro as it preserves the drugs kept in the Inro from drying up. On some examples, the finish and make are so perfect that it is difficult to see the divisions without separating them. Thus a writer in the Shaken Kisho says, u In verifying the best work of the Kajikawa, the Koma and other great artists， note how each section fits.” These masters were careful to lacquer only on the best work. The 1 partitions do indeed fit with such marvellous accuracy that the line of division does not show till the sections are drawn apart, and the sections are interchangeable. The celebrated Inro makers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were fond of copying works of painters, and often acknowledged their debt by inscribing on the Inro the name of the artist to whom they owed the design, and so in a collection of Inro we have I illustrations of the history, mythology and folk-lore of Japan rendered with beautiful harmony of colour and wonderful profusion of detail. The process of lacquering is not for me to dwell upon ; it has been treated ; thoroughly by Quin and others, and anyone interested in the subject will find a capital paper in the Trans- actions of the Asiatic Society of Japan， vol. 9. I also commend to ) 7 〇u my friend Mr. Gilbertson’s article in I the catalogue of the Exhibition held last February at the Burlington Arts Club. But whilst considering the I decoration of the Inro I must mention some of the different kinds of lacquering. I spoke of carved lacquer as being used for the early seal boxes. Of carved lacquers there are Tsuishu, or carved red lacquer, Tsui- , koku, or carved black lacquer, and Guri, which consists of successive layers of different colours ; through these are carved channels of a V shape, which describe patterns of curves and scrolls, and serve to show the different layers of which the lacquer is composed. Chinkinbori is lacquer on which a design is engraved, generally with a rafs tooth, and into the lines thus produced gold is rubbed. Some Inro, again, have the lacquer inlaid in different shades or colours. The ground work of many is in avanturine (in Japanese nashiji, 54 meaning ‘‘ ground like a pear rind ’’）； this is produced by gold finely dusted on to the lacquer. On others the gold is inlaid in small fragments and called giobu, after the name of the first to use this decoration. There is also Hiramakiye, where the ornamentation is slightly raised in gold above the ground, and Takamakiye where the design is in bold relief. Togidashi is polished or rubbed lacquer, with the design without outline and often in various colours, a very delicate process, producing in the hands of Shunsho, or one of the Koma, a lovely effect. There are many other kinds of lacquer, but I do not wish to weary you with a subject sufficient in itself for several papers. In a book dated 1688, called “ Shin-Choja-Kio,” we find an interesting passage. A writer, after speaking of the flourishing condition of Tsuruga, a town in the province of Echizen, alludes to the lawlessness of the inhabitants, and says ; u It is not wise to carry inro in the streets, as many thieves are wandering about. n I have already spoken of the first lacquerers of inro, and called your attention to certain examples. After these came a school of impressionists, commencing with Koyetsu, who was born in 1558 and began to follow the art of lacquering about 1587. No. 525, a pier of a bridge, is signed, which is very unusual in the work of Koyetsu ; this subject was frequently used by his pupils Soyetsu and others. No. 737 is by Soyetsu, his pupil who, I think, excelled his master : it is signed in fall, Tsuchida Soyetsu, and inscribed as being made in his 81st year. An owl is perched on a hoe, the agricultural implement in use to-day with which most of the farm cultivation seems to be done. Awabi shell and lead are inlaid, and gold lacquer used on a black ground. No. 738, geese flying, has a similar inlay on a ground of black lacquer. We now come to the most celebrated impressionist of the 17th century, Ogata Korin, celebrated both as painter and lacquerer. As a maker of inro he cannot be seen to advantage, to be appreciated he should be studied in his larger works, notably his writing and perfume boxes ; on these objects we find him at his best. No. 145 is one of his pieces, but on inro his designs often are far too rude and conventional ; this is a court carriage inlaid in shell and lead on a ground of gold. Some subjects are almost unintelligible. No. 148 has storks in lead and mother of pearl on a ground of rich gold of a beautiful colour : Korin was celebrated for this ground, and we find in it specks of gold enhancing the richness. Korin adopted the best methods of Soyetsu and varied his inlay, as in this example, by placing the shell in high relief, and often formed the object in one piece instead of placing small pieces vertically, as did Koyetsu and Soyetsu. Works are frequently signed Korin which are palpable forgeries, his style rendering bad imitations eas)^, just as some of our western painters produce uaubs and call their work impressionist to hide the fact that they cannot either draw or paint, half-taugh' and often idle craftsmen who follow the coarser and uglier forms of art, affecting to disdain the studies the^ do not themselves practise. No. 726 is a shell inlay of young fern fronds (used by the Japanese as vegetable), Korin^ paintings and lacquer are highly prized by the Japanese, and many have a true artisti feeling, whilst others are eccentricities more curious than faithful or beautiful. No •斗 62 is by Ritsuo wh studied under Korin, a very clever and original artist, born in 1663. He was also a celebrated potte learning the art from Korin’s brother Kenzan, and was very fond of inlaying his lacquer work with potter) the chrysanthemums on this inro are in pottery inlaid on black lacquer. He was also a celebrated painte carver and worker in metal. No. 746 shows the jolly god of contentment, Hotei, also in pottery on lacque A badger was a very favourite subject with Ritsuo and his followers, treated in No. 919 by Ritsuo, and No. 64 by a late follower of his, Kwozan, who produced some excellent work. No. 3 斗 5 is a fine and unusu piece ; the inro has an outer case, it is made of cherry bark and decorated with autumn flowers and insects i laid in shell and gold lacquer. Daruma, a saintly old priest, is represented on No •斗 22 ; he prayed in a temj 1 incessantly for nine years, neither moving nor speaking, and after his devotion on trying to rise, he fou 1 (naturally I think) his legs useless.

The risers of his inro are generally in chinkinbori. An eminent lacquerer whom I cannot pass over is Shiomi Masanari, or Masazane, as some translators have it. He flourished at the end of the 17th century, and produced very fine work in polished togidashi. No. 675 is an example of togidashi lacquer by Shunsho, an eminent family of lacquerers, the first was Yamamoto Shunsho, the author of this piece, who died in 1682, and the family con- tinued as masters in this beautiful process into our own time, as I have some fine work I bought through my collector in Japan of a late 19th century Shunsho. The delicate process of togidasm lacquer so beautifully rendered by the Shunsho, and the Koma, is nowhere clearly described and all I can tell you I understand is, that according to the thickness of the layer of lacquer over the gold or colour the gradation of tone is produced, and by rubbing down and polishing afterwards the most lovely effect is obtained. We now come to the family of lacquerers that are my especial favourites 一 the Koma. An example is in the collection of the first Koma, Kiui, who was lacquerer to the great Tokugawa Shogun Iyemitsu, and died in 1663. His son and pupil, Koma Kmhaku, really founded the Koma school, and this family have produced splendid work down to our own time. You will find most of the linings of their inro are in red, gold, or both com- bined. Quin gives the date of Kiuhaku as 1624-1643 ; this could not be the first Kiuhaku, for he was lacquerer to Tsunayoshi, who was Shogun 1681-1708, or forty years after Quin says that he died, his death really occurring in 1715. No. 190 is a lovely specimen of Kiuhaku’s work in white lacquer on a ground of black. The subject of No. 696 is Kanzan and Jittoku, from a drawing by Hanabusa Itcho, early in the 1 8th century, also by Koma Kiuhaku. No. 778 is by the same master in another style, encrusted m shell with gold lacquer. The family con- tinued to be lacquerers to the Shoguns, but on inro after Kiuhaku I find no Koma before Kioriu, a pupil of the fifth Koma, who worked in Yeddo (now Tokio) in 1772. Then came Koma Kwansai, a lacquerer of the first merit, and the master 01 z^eshin who was the best 01 the 19th century lacquerers ; Zeshin died in 1891 at the age of 84. Then followed Koma Yasutada, and I think his work in lacquer is unsurpassed. No. 667 is in togidashi, i.e., flat lacquer, rubbed and polished. No. 637 is one of the most refined and delicate works I have, it is not signed but I think it is by one of the Koma. It has an outer case of fine giobu work (inlay of small squares of gold). We now come to another celebrated family the Kajikawa, founded by KajiKawa Kiujiro about 1680, which continued late into our century. Although they were court lacquerers, our information con- cerning them is only meagre, whilst their works are ver}^ numerous, for they will be probally represented even 1 in a small collection — these are Kajikawa Hisataka, laKafusa, Hidetaka and others. lne Kajikawa are noted for their beautiful work particularly in the linings of ths Inro, which are generally in nasiiiji, and at I times in a nashiji flecked with pieces of gold leaf ot irregular shapes, crumpled up and imbedded m a trans- parent reddish lacquer, the colour of the gold varying according to the depth of lacquer with which it is covered, j Mr. Gilbertson thinks, and I entirely agree with him, that this must be the giobu nashiji mentioned in the j u Shoken Ivisho n as that for which the Kajikawa were famous. (The Shoken Kisho was a publication of the j last century on art work, treating principally of sword furniture.) No. 74 is a signed and evidently a very early Kajikawa, with the cord guides in silver. No. 90 has Primula in gold and silver lacquer, a good I example of the aristocratic inro 。 On No. 465 is a cock in white and silver lacquer, with an inlay of shell ： and gold lacquer on a rich brown ground. No. 222 is after a design by Hogen Yeisen, a painter of the last century, the flowers are in ivory. The geese on No. 685 are inlaid in shell and lacquered m gold and colours, ! after a design made by Kosen, one of the Kano painters. No. 692 is decorated with Chrysanthemums and signed Hisataka. ]V1 any 'vorks of an inferior order bear the name of Kajikawa but of poor work, purporting to be by the Koma, I have seen but little that was not palpably forgeries. Some large unsigned inro I have seen are undoubtedly I think by the Kajikawa, and very fine work, made probably for some of the great Daimio. No. 630 is the 56 work of Yamada Toyoyoshi, a clever artist of the last century, the background is in togidashi (flat polished lacquer). No. 700 is interesting, as the metal work is by Joi, a celebrated sword guard worker of the last century, but we occasionally find his work encrusted on lacquer inro. No. 377 is an example of a most excellent artist of the 18th century, Jokasai, one of the Kajikawa school ; he frequently employed metals in relief on nashiji lacquer. The skilful worker Yoyiisai brings us into this century. The subject treated in No. 577 is the Takarabune, ship of good fortune. No. 70 is by Kakosai, another master of the Kajikawa school (Jo and Uba, the genii of peace and happiness). This artist frequently worked with Shibayama, who carved m ivory the minute faces and hands that Kakosai mounted in lacquer. He used a seal similar to one of the Kajikawa. No. 884 is by Tatsuki Kokio. His inro are often large and of unusual shapes . 1 his one of Saigio the wandering priest is signed and inscribed as made when he was 83 years old. No. 96, with dragon in low relief on a ground to imitate stone, is by the same artist. I mention No. 513 as an example of cloisonne enamel by a celebrated family called Hirata, these enamels are inlaid on lacquer of gold by Sekigawa. No. 268 is a fine example of minute metal work encrusted on nashiji lacquer ; it is signed Seiryuken, but I know nothing of the artist. This inro delayed me in Osaka some time, for it was the treasured possession of a man whose idea of its value was far apart from mine, and we had great difficulty in reconciling them. No. 286, illustrates carved lacquer in both Tsuishu, carved red; and Tsuikoku, carved black. You will remember I spoke of the early seal boxes as being made in similar lacquer. No. 848 is an example of very beautiful mosaic work called Raden, which was applied to some of the earliest inro, as it is to the latest, this being a 19th century specimen. The inscription on No. 556 is Kotobuki, “ long life,” in awabi shell encrusted on wood elaborately carved in diapers, signed Yoshiaki in his 73rd year. No. 115 is in polychrome Kioto pottery with the edges in lacquer and the risers in wood, made in the last century. No. 904 is in carved ivory with exquisite encrusted work of shell representing doves on a branch of wistaria ; it is 19th century work, probably by one of the Shibayama family. No. 639 is quite a modern example, with a boar in silver by a metal worker named Jusan, admirably executed. Although this elaboration of inlay on late 19th century inro is scorned by classical collectors, some specimens should be included in every good collection, as they are marvels of exquisite jewel work with their inlay of various metals, tinted awabi shell, coral, malachite and tortoiseshell. Daikoku, god of riches, is depicted on No. 560 with his rice bales, but accompanied by rats, reminding us that riches pass as quickly as rice is consumed by rats. I have often thought that the artist artisan of Japan is unconsciously a true disciple of Ruskin, he well knows the grace and preciousness of simple adornment, and his works are like leaves in nature, no two alike ; seeming to follow our art critic^ teaching when he says, u If the materials of ornament are noble they must be various, and repetition of parts is the sign of utterly bad, hopeless, and base work. 55 The art worker of Japan goes to nature and carefully studies the lovely colours there unspoiled, always refined and beautiful, and let us hope the commercial spirit will not debase those true principles of decorative art which our friends in Japan know so well.

TICHASL TOMKINSON. In. 9 04. 151. 416 Itj. 115 57 NETSUKE. A NETSUKE is the toggle or button attached by a silk cord to the Inro or tobacco pouch, preventing it from slipping through the girdle. It is easily distinguished from the Okimono or small carving, by the presence of two holes for the passage of the cord, although not infrequently, a loop of some kind is devised in designing the netsuke, which answers the same purpose. Netsuke have always been more attractive to, and more easily comprehended by, the general public, than some other classes of Japanese art work, for many of the specimens of lacquer, pottery, and metal work, require a certain amount of technical knowledge to understand and appreciate them, whereas few people are indifferent to the exquisitely finished details of netsuke, or to the quaint and peculiar mode of treating their subjects. To those who possess a certain amount of knowledge of Japanese history, folk-lore, &c., the interest is enormously increased, for nearly every piece represents some well known incident, or has a symbolical meaning. But to those who bring in addition, even a moderate amount of artistic knowledge, to the examination of a collection of netsuke, a most interesting field of study is open. Ivory netsuke have been the most popular, and naturally so, for they can be fairly well observed in the glass case of a museum or in a shop window, whereas a wooden netsuke must be handled and closely ex- amined, before its merits or details can be adequately noted. But the wooden netsuke as a rule is the most valuable, both as a work of art, and as an example of the style of a given master. It will be readily under- stood that, in carving wood, there is much greater freedom of hand for the particular touch of the master than in ivory. With the latter material you cannot deal freely and boldly, it is almost like the difference to a sculptor, between working in clay and in marble. Nevertheless, among the men who worked both in wood and in ivory, some produced ivory netsuke having nearly every quality to be founa m those of wood. The Japanese carver seems to possess in the highest degree the facility of rendering those minute undulations and irregularities of surface which convey the idea of flexibility to the most unyielding material, and that, without in any way compromising the outline, even in delicate curves. But from a very early period wood carving seems to have been a speciality of the Japanese, acquired from the Chinese or Coreans, No one can look at the early Buddhist statues preserved in some of the temples, and dating, many of them, from the ioth and nth centuries, without being struck, not only by the skill and vigour of their execution, but by the anatomical knowledge they display. It is from the Butsushi, or sculptors of these sacred statues, that the netsuke carvers are indirectly derived through the carvers of ornaments for the temples, who ranked only as carpenters. The Japanese, like the old Italian and German artists, seems to have dealt with every branch of art, being painter し sculptor, and founder ; designing, and carrying out his design. Painting being however looked upon as the highest branch of art, eminent artists as a rule confined themselves to furnishing the design, the carver merely embodying their ideas. In the case of netsuke for instance, he would give from four to six different views of the object, iacluding those from the ends, and we must remember that a Japanese drawing contained no shadows. It was for the carver to supply the modelling and texture of the surface, and it is in this that we recognise the great merit of the higher class of netsuke carvers. Compare, 58 for instance the ears and paws of a rat by Ikkwan (No. 5 i 5 )j with those by an inferior artist, who may even be his equal in technical skill. One of the difficulties with which a collector has to contend arises from the fact that many carvers with great technical skill, could profit sufficiently by the modelling of more eminent men, to copy their work and style so nearly, as to make it difficult to decide whether a signed piece is a forgery or no. Hence the utility of a study of signatures, although their comparison is a difficult task for any one but a Japanese, or one familiar with Japanese caligraphy. The safest guide after all is the quality of the work, and the characteris- tics of the more eminent masters are not more difficult to recognise than those of a painter or lacquerer. In rendering animals and objects of natural history, the Japanese netsuke carvers are unsurpassed. Who ever comprehended and reproduced the attitudes and expressions of monkeys and rats like Ikkwan, Masaichi and others ? One reads what is passing in the minds of the animals. The best netsuke carvers have also a surprising faculty for rendering texture, both by surface treatment, and by the modelling of drapery. It is sometimes difficult to decide without close examination, whether a nut or a seed is real or carved, even in ivory, which is coloured to imitate nature with great accuracy. Although in some of their small figures of Sennin, &c., there are reminiscences of the Butsushi, or sacred image carver, the comic element enters largely into the subjects of the netsuke; and the seven gods of Good Fortune Raiden and Futen the thunder and wind gods ; and Shoki the suppressor of demons, are treated with scant reverence. They contrive to put into the heads of frogs and tortoises, as well as into the small faces of human beings, an amazing amount of expression, and it is rare to find a netsuke in which the story is not told in the most intelligible manner, and with great skill. It is not easy to select from the many excellent netsuke makers, the most eminent ones, their styles and mode of treatment being so varied. Still more difficult is it to indicate their characteristics in words ; it is only by inspection and comparison that the differences be- come intelligible. One easily recognises the recumbent oxen of Tomotada (No. 595), but his other animals are equally gocd. In number 447 it is tolerably easy to detect one of Toyomasa’s open work dragons, they are frequently represented as issuing from Handaka Sonja*s bowl, but his solid netsuke also are excellent, although in quite a different style. The melons, &c., of Ikkwan are as characteristic in treatment as his rats, and Masanao, best known by his figures, not only has a wide range of subjects, but was as successful in ivory as in wood. Tortoises and frogs are favourite subjects with several carvers. Giokumin especially treating the former with great skill, while Masanao, Kokei, and others, were equally successful with frogs. Kokei fre- quently placed them on an old straw sandal verj. cleverly rendered. His quadrupeds were equally good, see for instance the goats No. 539, 540 and 541. I have spoken elsewhere of the skill with which the netsuke carvers rendered textures. Todatoshi’s snail (No. 566) is a good example. The boys by Hojitsu and Hozan, are remarkable for the ethnological truth of their heads and faces, and Miwa, the most celebrated of the netsuke carvers, is characterised by great freedom and largeness of treatment, and by absence of minute detail. Compare No. 621, Omori Hikoshichi : 646, Shoki, and 674 Raiden : it will at once be seen that the styles are different, the first being much more elaborate. A more modern Miwa is very skilful in his wooden netsuke combined with ivory, but the information available respecting the Miwa is excessively meagre. But his signature is often forged, and it requires considerable skill and experience to distinguish the works of other members of his family and school from his. The coloured netsuke of Shuzan in like manner are often imitated, Kurobei having no scruples as to putting Shuzan’s name to his work. Most of the above named worked chiefly in wood, but the list of eminent makers in ivory netsu es is not less long, more especially as itf includes artists eminent in both materials. But in ivory, the work of Riumin, Masaichi, Hojitsu, Hozan, anc many others, leaves little to be desired, and the skulls by Giokuzan Asahi are perhaps superior to anything of the kind that has been executed elsewhere. 59 In my opinion, netsuke carving was at its highest point of excellence in the eighteenth and the early part of the nineteenth centuries. We lose gradually, it is true, that largeness of treatment which characterised some of the early masters, but as a compensation we get greater truth of detail, and a closer observance of nature. This however degenerated into making minuteness of detail the dominant object, until it ceased to be art, and became merely an example of perfect manual skill. As the nineteenth century advanced, a love for mere tours de force was added, and netsuke were produced, quite unfitted for their nominal purpose, but almost marvellous example of delicate and skilful workmanship. They were perhaps not altogether out of place, but are only curios, not the productions of artists. Netsuke were made of almost every material, and in a great variety of forms, often supplying us with interesting specimens of lacquer work, incrustation and enamelling. No. 340 is a figure of Daruma, the dress black, but made of nine layers of lacquer of different colours, and one of gold leaf. These are shaved off in places, so as to show, in irregular concentric lines, the various layers, like the Tsugaru lacquer or the mokume bronzes. No. 468 imitates so exactly a large stick of u sumi (Indian ink) that one would naturally take it up and try to use it. It is of black lacquer. No. 415 is an egg shaped iron box, containing a small flint gun lock for striking a light, the stud which acts as a trigger being outside. No. 449 is a charming little elephant in porcelain, by Kenya, the housings having small pearls inlaid. It stands on a plinth of jet with pearls inlaid, and has an ojime, or slide, also of porcelain, an elephant curled into a globular shape. Porcelain netsuke are frequently met with, No. 308, TJzume, being also by Kenya, and Nos. 310 and 455 by Teiji, the latter being a well known subject, Raiden looking through the clouds ; the former, an Oni looking at himself in a mirror. No. 456, two puppies in Hirado porcelain. Masaichi's figures, with his signature stamped upon them, are frequently met with in porcelain. The Kagami-buta* are buttons of metal, with a shank at the back, forming a lid on circular hollow mounts of ivory or wood, having a hole at the bac through which the Inro cord, fastened to the metallic shank, passes. These often bear the names of celebrated engravers and chasers. No. 156 is of gold, with figures in relief of two warriors hunting, admirably chased, by Motonobu. No. 543, by Riumin, is of silver, with blind women crossing a stream, in gold. No. 104 is engraved by Chomin, and represents Jurojin; No. 103 is Shoki, engraved on silver by Shuraku. The Manju netsuke, so called from the rice cakes (manju) of the same form, are of ivory, solid or pierced, or of wood or ivory lacquered. They are often made in two halves, hollow, the cord passing through a hole in the back, and attached to a shank in the upper half. Not infrequently the carved and pierced ones have chasings of gold or silver inserted in their upper face. No. 198 is an unusally large example of these pierced manju, representing the tiger in a storm, his enemy the Dragon being admirably represented in silver on the upper face ; it is by Mitsuhiro. No. 264 has a group of flowers in gold, by Kiomin ; 268 is only a disc of ivory, but the face has a silver peacock enamelled, fastened by a shank to the other side. Many of the lacquered Manju and netsuke bear the names of eminent masters. No. 328 is by TansO after K'vdrin ; 319, shells and seaweed by Zeshin ; 276, shells and seaweed by Chohei ; 325, a leaf in gold lacquer, with a coral berry, by Kajikawa ; 309 is hollowed out, and in the cavity are a hawk’s bell and the remains of a stick of Sumi (Indian ink). It is very probable that the production of netsuke and small okimono for exportation will still exercise the skill and ingenuity of Japanese carvers, but the fine old specimens, those in wood especially, become more and more rare and costly. It is much to be regretted that so few examples are accessible to students in our museums, for there is much to be learned from them ; the only collection I know of is that of Sir A. W. Franks in the British Museum. • Kagami, mirror ; buta, lid. E. GILBERTSON. DO N ETS U K E. Century. 1. Wood, lacquered and gilt. A basket of flowers, ... ... ... 18 2. Wood.

INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF TSUBA. F the several mounts of the Japanese sword, the tsuba } or guard, may be looked upon as the most impres- sive and the most interesting. It presents extraordinary variety in the way of material, of design, and of technical accomplishment. It offers an adequate surface for the due development of the decorative motive, and can be as conveniently displayed and preserved for examination as a coin or medal. On its production every resource of the metallurgical art was brought to bear. Its ornamentation reveals the Japanese fertility of invention, ingenuity of adaptation, certainty of hand, originality, boldness and finish. Essentially the Japanese sword-guard is a flat plate of metal. Its outline is most commonly circular or somewhat elliptical, but other forms are not uncommon. Amongst these may be named the rounded oblong, the barrel-shaped^ the square, the octagonal, the diamond-shaped, the four-lobed, and the four-cusped. Irregular and picturesque outlines not infrequently occur. Some of these seem to be quite casual in origin ; others are derived from the shapes of the flower-spray, or the tree-branch which has been coiled or twisted into an approximately circular form. In connection with the forms of sword-guards the openings which occur in them may be noted. In addition to the wedge-shaped central opening for the passage of the sword- blade there are frequently two lateral holes, one of them elliptical, the other three-lobed. Through the former the kozuka passed, through the latter the kogai. Sometimes the kozuka opening alone exists ; some- times both holes are stopped up with plugs of pewter, bronze, shakudo, shibuichi or copper, these plugs being generally stamped or inlaid with conventional patterns. Guards vary much in size, which is determined in great measure by the size of the weapon to which they belong. For the smaller swords a guard rather less than 3 inches in diameter is usual, but the daggers commonly have a mere collar. Large guards, occasionally as much as 4 inches across, belong to swords of 25 to 32 inches in length of blade. The weight of an average guard is about 2 \ or 3 ounces avoirdupois. Many of the Akasaka guards, which are largely perforate and cut away, are as heavy as the solid guards with relief-decoration, for they were made thicker in substance in order to secure adequate strength. The earliest guards were made of iron ; this metal was also much used in later times. Copper, various kinds of bronze, and the two distinctively Japanese alloys, shibuichi and shakudo, as well as silver and even gold, were frequently employed as the material for tsuba, and also to a large extent in their decoration. An alloy known as sentoku was not infrequently used. It is somewhat soft and of a brass-yellow hue, and con- tains zinc, tin, and lead, though the predominant constituent is of course copper. With the exception ot silver and gold all the above-named metals present an altered surface or patina, sometimes produced by heat alone, but generally by means of a treatment of the completed guard with a pickling solution. Guards made of materials other than metals are rare, but bone, ivory, wood, leather, papier mach さ ， and tortoiseshell were occasionally employed, the wood, leather and papier mach^ being lacquered. A few words concerning the iron so often employed for tsuba (and indeed for other accessories of the sword and for many ornamental and useful objects) may not be out of place. It proves on analysis to be remarkably pure, the carbon, 9〇 TSUB/L INTRODUCTION TO THE STUD 1 ； OF TSUBA.

The highest amount of sulphur found was but 6 parts in 100,000 — a degree of freedom from this obnoxious element never reached in any European iron, and attributable to the purity of the iron ore employed (the magnetic oxide), and to the use of charcoal in its reduction. Another peculiarity of the iron employed in former times for Japanese sword-guards is its softness. Frequently its hardness is no greater than that of rolled platinum, and rarely exceeds that of fluor-spar. If we assign 15 degrees of hardness to the iron of a tsuba, good English razor-steel will be represented by 60 degrees. The specific gravity of tsuba-iron is high, varying between 7.8 and 7.9. The chief processes employed in the ornamentation of sword-guards may be summarised thus — Hammer-marking and cold punching; chasing; saw and file-cutting; etching; flat-inlaying with various metals, with mother-of-pearl, with lacquer ; encrusting with various metals, and with other materials, such as agate, ivory, coral, and mother-of-pearl ; associating together several metals so as to produce stratified (No. 338) and mottled appearances; enamelling. To these processes must be added the various methods in use by Japanese craftsmen to produce surface-colourations upon metals. The red patina of sub-oxide formed upon copper, and the black patina of magnetic oxide formed upon iron, with the violet- black film on shakudo, and the grey film on shibuichi, afford notable examples of these characteristic methods of decorative treatment. A few observations as to certain peculiarities in the use made by Japanese artificers of some of the above-named methods of ornamentations may be of interest in studying their work. Thus the marks made by the blows of the hammer are not usually (as in European hammered work) arranged after a fashion of careless symmetry, but are grouped together in a few places on a guard after what seems a quite capricious manner. So the designs borne on punches are not impressed upon the surface with regularity or com- pleteness (41). In the case of saw-cutting (434) the exceedingly neat and narrow slits 一 often too fine to admit the passage of a strip of writing-paper 一 are particularly worthy of admiration as examples of technical accomplishment. Etching with acids was rarely used to produce definite patterns, but chiefly for developing with unequal relief the twists and foldings of wrought iron. It should be remarked that nearly the whole of what appears to be engraved work on guards, is really accomplished, however fine the lines and however free the curves, by means of repeated blows with a fine chisel. The several kinds of inlaying and incrusting met with on tsuba may be conveniently designated by the three Italian terms — Intarsia, Damaschina, Azzimima. The first of these words may be used to signify flat-inlaying, the second ordinary incrustation, the third the application of a metallic leaf or foil to a roughened surface. Sometimes a design in intaglio was filled up by a material in a liquid state, such as lacquer or molten lead or speculum metal. The curious and thoroughly Japanese method of associating together two or more differently coloured metals which goes under the native name mokum^ (^oo) demands a few words of explanation. In this method two or more sheets of metal having been joined together are so treated by the punch, the chisel and the hammer, as to exhibit side by side patches of the several constituent metals. The true mokume is imitative of the grain of wood, but the term is loosely applied by Western writers on Art-workmanship to many other arrangements of coloured metals in association. Enamel both translucent (61) and opaque (326) was used not infrequently for the decoration of tsuba, both the cloisonne (528) and the champleve (193) methods being adopted. Translucent enamels on a gold ground (489) inset in iron are said to have been invented by Donin of the Hirata family about A.D. 1600 ; he died in 1646. The designs met with on tsuba are innumerable, and it would be impossible to describe them unless we were prepared to give a synopsis of the major part of the traditions, the wars, the legends, the mythology and the domestic manners and customs of the Japanese. And even then the story would remain imperfect ii it did not include an account of the foreign influences which affected the native art, together with many particulars 92 as to the scenery and the fauna and flora of the country, and as to the immense variety of geometrical and highly conventionalised ornamental motives employed by Japanese artists in metal. In their treatment of certain large classes of natural history subjects as decorative motives, ^he Japanese artificers remain unrivalled, although weak and poor work from the hands of inferior craftsmen is of course not wanting. In the representation of the human figure anatomy and proportion were generally ignored, while action and expression were frequently pushed to the limits of caricature. Birds, fishes, and insects were treated with consummate skill. Perhaps the greatest triumphs were achieved in the case of plants. Here it is difficult to decide which is more beautiful, the pierced and relief work in plain iron or the rich ornament executed in gold, silver and variously coloured metallic alloys. One point at least may be noticed 一 that the plants which are but rarely and quite occasionally represented on tsuba are as thoroughly understood and their characteristics as accurately rendered as the plants which form the usual stock-in-trade of the Japanese artist — such as the cherry, the plum, the peony, the bamboo and the fir 〇 In saying this I have in view the treatment of a few plant forms of which I have met with a solitary example, or, at most, two or three in- stances. Amongst these may be named a saxifrage (Saxifraga sarmentosa), a Sarsaparilla (Heterosmilax japonica), a cycad (Cycas revoluta), and Indian corn (Zea mays). It should be noted that the identifi- cation of the species of plants represented on tsuba is not always easy by reason of the highly conventional treatment adopted in some cases. Still something like one hundred and fifty distinct kinds have been recog- nised. Some of these are shown in picturesque groupings and in a perfectly naturalistic style, others are reduced to their simplest elements and stiffened into geometrical forms. As might be expected the chrysan- themum and several other plants adopted as armorial cognizances frequently afford examples of extremely conventional treatment. There exists, for example, a very large group of forms derived from the chrysan- themum. The imperial badge or mon^ a flower of sixteen rays, may be regarded as the type, but connected with it are many patterns of a chrysanthemoid character in which the number of rays is some multiple of eight, such as 24, 32 and 64. The inscriptions on tsuba convey much interesting information. They comprise one or more of the following indications : 一 The name or names, personal and family, of the maker of the guard ; and, not infrequently the designation of his studio ; the place or province where the maker worked ; the date ; the age of the tsuba-maker ; the original designer ; the name or title of the person for whom the guard was made ; a dedication. Generally the information is limited to the first two items in the above list : it is greatly to be regretted that records of date are extremely rare, and that a large proportion of fine guards bear no signature or mark of any kind. The completer form of an ordinary inscription may be exemplified by an example. Thus we read the Chinese characters on one guard (No. 167) as follows: — Choshu Hagi ju Kawaji Rokuroyemon Masakata tsukuru. This, being interpreted, becomes “ made by Masakata (personal name) Kawaji Rokuroyemon (family name) resident in (the town of) Hagi, (Province of) ‘ Ch6shiL’ ’， rhe name of the artist is often followed by his monogram called the Kakihan ) (iyi) sometimes a seal-design known as the in occurs (91) but this generally stands alone. The dates on guards are rare, especially those belonging to periods earlier than the present century. They are indicated in two ways. In one of these the era {nengo) is given and is followed by a numeral. In the other system cycles of 60 years are used. Collectors of tsuba are naturally desirous of classifying their specimens according to a dennite system. To accomplish this in a satisfactory manner with the data at one’s disposal is at present impossible. We may begin our series with the simpler and more archaic types of an obviously early time, but even here, in the absence of signatures, and with the knowledge that there were revivals of ancient patterns at subsequent periods, the task is fraught with difficulty. It is pretty certain that the artistic sword-guard was not introduced until the end of the 1 5th century. In the early part of the following century the work of Nobuiy^ and the 1st Umetada is believed to mark a decided advance, although somewhat earlier Goto Yujo appears to have turned 34 - 261 92 as - he scenery and the fauna ar：d flora of the country, a£id as to the ir •niense variety of ^eon t ttrv:d ar d h;gh ； ： conventionalised ornamental motives en- ployed by Japanese ardsts in metal.

Somewhat later we meet with tsuba pierced with scattered flowers of plum and cherry; to about the same period the Chrysanthemoid guards, and those early skeleton guards in which are reproduced certain armorial badges, (435) may be assigned. In the early part of the 1 6th century bronze encrustations in a rough style were often applied to iron tsuba; so also were flat inlays of silver, copper and bronze, in floral and leafy forms (390). In the latter part of the 16th century we first meet with the guards of pierced tendril-work (352) which Mr. Gilbertson very reasonably suggests were made under the influence of the work of the Portuguese armourers, whom the Jesuits brought to Japan. With the advent of the 17th century came a marked increase in the number of tsuba makers who signed their productions, and a greater prevalence of elaborate work in various copper-alloys. Several of the best-known of the Schools of sword-guard chasers arose in this century. Amongst these the Nara and Hirata Schools, and those of Soten, Yokoya and Shoami may be named In the first half of the 18th century the closely allied Hamano and Omori Schools were founded, along with many others, distinguished, for the most part, by an increased feeling for natural forms and the abandonment of the academic thraldom which characterised many of the early schools such as the School of Goto. During the course of the 17th and 18th centuries members of the Goto, Umetada and Miochin families continued to sustain the repute of their studios. Kinai, who worked in the latter part of the 17th century, and was allied to the Miochin School, produced openwork guards of highly sonorous pure iron, which, in design and surface-modelling have never been surpassed. The Goto school degenerated greatly in the latter part of the 18th century, producing work, showy and elaborate indeed, but sadly lacking in strength and vitality. However, in the beginning of the present century, one of the Goto, who had taken the name Ichijo, produced excellent work, while down to the Restoration of 1868 many fine tsuba were turned out. As an indication of the immense mass of material which has to be dealt with in classifying Japanese sword-guards it may be mentioned, that a moderate estimate of the total number of tsuba-makers would reach two thousand. No attempt to range all these under the forty or fifty Schools which have been recognised by Japanese experts could be successful with the critical apparatus at present in our possession. It seems better to be content with such an arrangement of tsuba as can be arrived at by first taking into consideration those characteristics of the specimens which appeal to the critical artistic eye of the European. Then corrections and developments, derived from such knowledge as we possess of Japanese Schools, are introduced. To data derived from the latter source, when indisputable, prior authority must of course be allowed. Some collectors perhaps do wisely in abandoning any attempt at chronological sequence, classifying the specimens merely by subject and mode of treatment. 0 A. H. CHURCH. 94 TSUBA.

In the scabbard of the Wakizashi or short sword is sheathed a knife (Ko-Katana), the handle of which is the Kozuka. The Fuchi is the band or ferule on the handle of the sword or dagger nearest the blade. The Kashira, a long oval mount, is at the extremity of the handle, and on this the artist in metal works the principal idea of the subject he is treating, and continues it on the Fuchi with similar treatment and in the same materials. The delicate skill, patience, and beautiful modelling applied to these works of the past are beyond all praise, and are indeed worthy of admiration and study. Sword mounts executed by great masters were without doubt valued as artistic works, and it is recorded that princes ordered Kozuka from celebrated makers to distribute as rewards to faithful Samurai. The makers of Kozuka and Fuchi Kashira were frequently employed as makers of Tsuba, and also of Menuki and other parts of sword mounts. On Kagami buta (metal centres on Netsuke), Ojime (beads), and Kanemono (pouch-fasteners), we also find their signatures inscribed. Kozuka are generally in metal, occasionally in carved ivory or wood, which latter are sometimes encrusted with shell, coral or other materials. Cloisonne, translucent and champleve enamelling on iron and other metals, were introduced by Hirata Donin, and this family continued similar work up to quite a recent date. There are occasionally Kozuka of metal lacquered and decorated ; sometimes they are in wood, lacquered and engraved to imitate metal, the imitation being very perfect. The subjects of decoration on Kozuka and Fuchi Kashira are as interesting as those on Inro, Netsuke, or Tsuba. Flowers, birds, and insects are exquisitely rendered, and we find the story of Japanese history, tradition, and religion told with wonderful skill and fidelity, sometimes in flat inlay, at others in high or low relief of many metals, or chased with unerring certainty and delicacy. I 20 KOZUKA. Unless otherwise specified、 the decoration is in relief in various metals and chased. 3. 4. 5. 6 . 9. 10 . 11 . 12 . 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20 . 21 . 22 . 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30.

It has been famous for hundreds of years; as a keen-edged weapon it has no superior, while as regards excellence of forging and finishing, French experts have declared it unapproachable by European workmen. The honour and esteem in which a good sword was held by the samurai, a class which included both the Shogun and the retainer of a daimio, inclined him to spare no expense in the decoration of his weapon without impairing its utility. He wore no personal ornaments, and his sword mounts were to him what jeweller’s work was to the European. It was that which brought into existence the long line of Japanese chasers, from Goto downwards, whose skill in their art, in the manipulation of the various metals, and in the invention of the ingenious alloys and patinas, gives a special character to their work, making it the wonder and admiration of collectors. Moreover, the subjects represented on Tsuba, Kozuka, and Fuchi Kashira, form a little gallery of illustrations of the history, myths, folk-lore, and emblems of the Japanese people, and are frequently copied from the designs of eminent painters. We have no satisfactory work on the Japanese sword, for although abundant material exists in Japanese, we have yet to meet with a translator cognisant of the technology of the subject in the two languages. There have been many essays published in various periodicals, but few of them add much to our knowledge of the subject, while some are positively misleading. At the head of them stands unquestionably Hiitterott^ Das Japanische Schujert } published in the “Transactions of the Eastern Asiatic Society of Germany.” It confines itself to the sword blade, the most important part it is true, and is almost exhaustive of the subject, and full of interest. His statements are derived either from Japanese works of authority, from his own observation and experiments, or from communications with Japanese sword-smiths and experts 一 not self-styled experts, but official ones, for they are named by the state, and the function was hereditary in the Honami family for generations. Next to Hiitterott’s work comes an essay by Mr. Lyman of Philadelphia, in the ^Journal of the Numismatic and Antiquarian Society 11 of that city. It covers a somewhat wider rield than Hiitterott^s, and is apparently derived from the same sources. The next important contribution to our knowledge of the subject is Muller Beeck^s Die Japanischen Schwerter } in the u Transactions of the Berlin Ethnological Society. n It is, however, disfigured by many errors, some evidently arising from lack of technical knowledge on his own part, or on that of his Japanese translator. The article on Swords in Pfoundes , Fuso Mimi Bukuro contains much general information as to swords and sword legends, and I have met with nothing else of practical use to a collector. Japanese legends speak of a sword-smith, Ama-no-maura, in the reign of the second Emperor, B.C. 581-549, and of an Amakuni, who made a copy of the sacred sword for the Emperor Suyin, 139 B.C. 97— 5 〇 . But the earliest sword-smith whose blades can be identified is Amakuni (another one), who lived at the end of the seventh century. Masamune of Sagami, who lived at the end of the thirteenth and beginning of the fourteenth centuries, is always quoted as the greatest of the Japanese smiths. He was the son of Yukimitsu, the maker of No. 74, and blades by Masamune are under Nos. 45, 75, 109. But although looked upon as the prince of sword-smiths, his blades are less rare and costly in Japan than those of his adopted son Sadamune, for one of whose blades, see No. 93. Another example of his work is the unmounted Wakizashi, No. 119, showing the ‘‘hada-aya-sugi, or wood-grain forging.” In the table of the relative value of swords in the Kokon Meizukushi, published in 1702, Sadamune is placed at the head of the list, and his blades are valued at 50 mai, while Masamune is below him, the value left blank. Among the unmounted blades is one of a somewhat remarkable character, No. 80. It is by Muramasa, a pupil of Masamune, and is an excellent example of his work. The blade is in w hada- gitai,” or wood-grain forging, with a dragon on one side and Susano on the other, chased in intaglio rilevato. The scabbard, instead of being plain, with the name and length of the blade in ink, is of black lacquer, with the inscription in red lacquer, showing probably the owner’s estimation of the blade, and his disinclination to have it mounted. One never meets with a Muramasa mounted, for there is a belief that if worn, a Muramasa blade impels the wearer to commit murder or suicide, an idea probably derived from the murders committed by Gompachi with a Muramasa sword. It is said that a prohibition against wearing them was issued in the first quarter of the seventeenth century. Honami Kotoku, a celebrated expert, who wrote about that time, calls them ‘‘ ignoble and bloodthirsty,” and omits Muramasa from his list of great smiths. Iyeyasu having twice wounded himself with a Muramasa blade, they were held to be hostile to the 丁 okugawas, which was the probable reason of their being ostracised. It was said that a piece of paper floating down a stream would be cut in two when it met the edge of a Muramasa blade, and one of Iyeyasu’s accidents arose from his wish to examine another, that had cloven a helmet in battle. No. 96 is also by him. It would occupy too much space to describe the very interesting processes employed in forging and finishing a sword-blade, but it may be of interest to state that in one of the modes of forging, the blade consisted of 4,194,304 layers of steel, welded together. To produce this astonishing result, a bar of steel, welded to a piece of iron to serve as a handle, was notched in the middle, heated, bent upon itself, and forged until it resumed its original dimensions. This operation was repeated fifteen times, and then four of the bars were welded together, notched, doubled, and forged as before, five times; and it will be found that this produces the number of layers mentioned above. When it was intended to forge a blade with those beautiful waterings or curves, the t( hada-aya- sugi,” or the “hada gitai,” like the grain of wood, the process was somewhat different. One or more of the four bars alluded to above was forged in a different manner, being hammered on the edge, or on the angle, before it was welded to the others. Examples of the result will be seen in Nos. 43, 74, 77， and 87. In the style called “hada gitai,” hollows are cut in the bar, which is then heated, and hammered until the surface is level again, so as to show the edge of the upper layers that were cut away, as in Nos. 117 and 120. A peculiarity of the Japanese sword is, that the edge only is hardened, the rest of the blade Deing left sufficiently soft to be engraved or chased. This hardening the edge is the most important and delicate operation in making a blade, so much so that we sometimes find it stated on the tang that the blade was hardened by so and so. It is effected by coating the blade with clay, mixed with charcoal 140 and other substances, to the thickness of about the eighth of an inch. Before this is hard, a portion ol it is scraped off from the edge of the blade, leaving about a quarter of an inch of the steel bare. The edge of the clay is sometimes left as a straight line, sometimes wavy or toothed, or in rounded hollows, each pattern having its special name. When the coating of clay is dry and hard, the blade is held over a charcoal fire until the exposed steel shows by its colour that the proper temperature has been reached, and the blade is then plunged into warm water, and cooled. An essential point is, to heat the edge as rapidly as possible, so as not to raise the temperature of the rest of the blade more than necessary. When the blade is finished, the exposed edge is found to be of a different colour to the rest, and is called the “ yakiba,” or “ burned edge.” The various smiths and their followers usually adopted a particular pattern of yakiba, which is one of the characteristics enabling the experts to decide on the quality and maker of a blade. It is this fact, that the edge only is hardened, that gave rise to the generally received error that a Japanese sword consisted of a steel edge welded to an iron back, a style of make used only for the commonest blades. Some excellent blades are made of bars of iron, or steely iron, and steel, arranged in various manners, several of the styles being given by Hiitterott, with their names. Some of the old smiths possessed the art of perfuming their blades — Nos. 22 and 45 are examples of this ; the former being by Sukenao, and dated 1683. Blades dressed with oil having the same perfume are common, and the art of scenting the steel has been revived during the present century ; but whether the scent will remain for a couple of hundred years remains to be proved. We often find characters incised on blades, usually Bonji, or invocations in old Sanscrit characters to Fudo, Marishiten, or one of the Deva kings, such as Bishamon, who are frequently represented on the foot of the blade in intaglio rilevato. Or it is the dragon round the sword of Fudo, the Ama-Kurikara, incised or in intaglio rilevato, sometimes having the ground pierced, and therefore appearing on both sides of the blade. Occasionally there is an inscription on the blade, as on Nos. 26, 52, 54, 90, 106, and 114. That on No. 90 is a poem It is better for a warrior to polish his mind and keep his blade in the scabbard,” com- posed by the smith Aritaka himself, as he informs us on the tang. But besides the name and residence of the smith, and frequently the date, other pieces of information are often given on the tang. On No. 54 it states that the sword was worn by Yoshihisa at the battle of Shimabara; on No. 72, that it was made by order of Minamoto Toyotada in 1664, and on one of my swords that it had cut through two dead bodies. There is a very great variety of swords and daggers bearing different names, some referring to the style of blade, others to the character of the scabbard, &c. A list of about sixty names, compiled from various works, is, I am assured, incomplete; but I feel tolerably certain that there is no appreciable difference between some of the weapons named. It has been stated by some writers that the u tsurugi 19 or ‘‘ ken,” the former being the Japanese, the latter the Chinese reading of the same character, was the original form of the sword ; but this form in iron or steel has never been found in any of the ancient burial mounds, although a broad, two-edged sword of bronze has been discovered occasionally before the iron age in Japan. There are very early swords dug out of the dolmens by Mr. Gowland, which are single edged and quite straight. The “ ken ’’ is a straight, two-edged, pointed sword, with a ridge down the centre of the blade. It is usually described as a long sword ; but that is an error, for although some are undoubtedly long, the ken of the Emperor Godaigo is only eleven inches in length, that in the temple of Toshioji nineteen inches, and the “kakushi ken” is, as its name implies， a ken for the pocket. 141 The most familiar types of swords are the Tachi ; the Katana ; the Wakizashi ; the DaishS, or pair of swords, being the Katana and Wakizashi together ; the Chisakatana, and the Tanto, or short swords and daggers. The “ tachi ” is a long sword suspended by two cords — the ‘‘ obitori,” from the girdle, the scabbard having two collars, called “ashi,” to which the obitori are attached. There are many varieties of “tachi,” which are broadly divisible into two classes, those worn in battle, the “jin-tachi，” and those worn at Court by the Kuge, or nobles. Among the war tachi, those worn by commanders- in-chief, called u shirazaya/ > had the scabbard partly covered with fur, spreading out at the end like a fox’s brush. Another type of swords worn by superior officers had the upper half of the tachi wound round with leather, in the same style as the hilt cord (tsuka-ita), leaving rhomboidal openings. The end of a general’s scabbard, instead of the ordinary kojiri, was covered by the “ ichisuki,” the narrow sides of which extended far up the edges of the scabbard, that on the outer curve being sometimes a foot long. The ichisuki was secured by rings (sem6) passing outside it, their number and position indicating the owner’s rank. On all tachi a ring of a peculiar form, called the (i shibabiki/ 1 is found on the lower half of the scabbard. The varieties of the “ Gijo,” or ceremonial tachi, worn by the Court nobles, were still more numerous, for etiquette required a particular type of tachi to be worn on stated occasions. There were strict regulations as to the form of the tsuba or guard, the colour of lacquer, the number and position of the lacquered crests, or “ mon,” on the scabbard, and of the ornaments on the hilt. The pommel and scabbard end were not like the Kashira and Kojin of the ordinary sword, but were much deeper and more ornamental, and the pommel was called a u Kabuto gane/ 1 having attached to it a ring or a metal loop, the “ sarute ’’ or monkey’s hand, from which a cord and tassel depended. Some of these Court tachi, the “ Kazari ’’ or “ ornamental ’’ tachi, were suspended by cleverly made chains of wire, and were known as “ Kusari tachi.” They sometimes had scabbards of metal, silver or white metal, chased, and occa- sionally gilt, several of these of the time of the Hojo rule being preserved at Itsukushima. The hilts were, in some cases, of “ sam6,” without any tsukaita or hHt cord, and having instead of the usual menuki, “ tawara-bio,” or nail heads, in a particular order. This u same/ 1 with which sword-hilts are usually covered, is generally called “ shark skin,” and is so translated m Hepworth’s dictionary. It is white, and covered with nodules, of which one prominent group is placed on the front of the hilt. It is in reality the skin of a species of ray, the Rninobatus armatus. The u same nuri, ,) or same lacquer (see the scabbards of No. no), is made by rasping down the tops of the nodules, when the skin is fixed to the scabbard, coating it all over with black lacquer, and then grinding it down until an even surface is produced. No weapons could be worn in the presence of the Emperor in the palace, so tachi, called ‘‘ Ki-dachi,” with blades of wood, as the name implies, were used by the Kug6. With reference to these, there is an anecdote relating to Taira no Tadamori, the founder of the greatness of the Taira family, about 1129. Becoming a favourite of the Emperor Toba, he excited the jealousy of the Kug6, who resolved to assassinate him on one of the (i setsuye/ > or night fetes, at the palace. Privately informed of the conspiracy, Tadamori had the blade of his u Ki-dachi )} covered with silvered paper, burnished, and on entering the hall where the Kug 6 were assembled at night, he drew the sword and flashed it about, intimidating the conspirators, who knew him to be an expert swordsman ; so they abandoned their project. On leaving the palace, he deposited his sword with the porter, and, as he anticipated, was summoned to the palace the next morning to answer the accusation of wearing a sword before the Emperor. He requested that the porter might be ordered to bring his sword, which he drew, and, 142 breaking it, showed that it was of wood, covering his accusers with ridicule, and rising higher than ever in the favour of the Emperor. The “ Katana,” which is the general term for a sword, is a long sword, slightly curved, the blade, not including the tang, varying from 20 to 35 inches in length. With the “ Wakizashi ” it forms the pair of swords, the n Dai-sho M (large and small), worn in the girdle by all samurai. When the Katana is worn alone, the scabbard is very often of lacquer of a more ornamental character than when it is one of a pair, the lacquering in the latter case being generally of a very simple style. We usually find the scabbard end of the Katana without any ornamental Kojiri, it being often of horn, and the end flat. The Katana No. 22 has a perfumed blade, and a scabbard inlaid with malachite, &c. No. 26, by Akihiro of Sagami, has chrysanthemums in gold togidashi lacquer ; and No. 77 is of gold hiramakye, none of these probably being one of a pair. The Wakizashi, or shorter sword of the pair, is distinguished by being fitted with the Kozuka in the scabbard, and often with the Kogai, or skewerlike hairpin, as well The scabbard end is usually merely rounded, and devoid of ornament. Of the pair of swords, the Katana was the fighting sword, and in paying a visit was left in the vestibule, or delivered to a servant ; while the Wakizashi was removed from the girdle and placed on the mat, on the visitors right side. It was the weapon originally used for ‘‘ harakiri，’’ until the “ Ko_sun-go-bu ’’ （nine sun five bu, or 1 1 /可 inches), so called from its length, was specially selected for that purpose. There were four kinds of Wakizashi — the “ ko，’’ or short Wakizashi, I l T 9 可 in. ]ong ; the “ 5 ,’’ or large Wakizashi, from 17J in. to 23! in. long ; and an intermediate size, besides the Chu-wakizashi of the beginning of the fifteenth century, from 15-i to 21 inches long. We often find in the Wakizashi, and more rarely in its companion, Katana, a sort of hook on the scaDbard, called the “ soriken ’’ or “ obitome,” the use of which is to prevent the weapon from slipping through the obi or girdle ; but in what way it answers that purpose I cannot divine. A marked exception to the general character of the “ da ト sh 5 ’• is the pair of swords No. 110 • The scabbards are covered with same-nuri (fish skin lacquer), the mode of making which I have previously explained, and both are alike except in size, only the Katana has no soriken. On both we find the Kozuka, Kogai, and a menuki in shakudo on the scabbard. It seems to me probable, especially from the size of the Katana, that it was intended to be worn, either as one of a pair of swords, or alone as a Chisakatana. Officials below a certain rank were not allowed to enter the palace, or appear before a superior, on ceremonial occasions, wearing the two swords. 丄 ney wore instead a Chisakatana, intermediate in length between the Katana and Wakizashi, having a Kozuka and often a Kogai, and susceptible of any kind of decoration for the scabbard, including menuki and kojiri. Besides the swords above mentioned, there were others of a peculiar or exceptional character, and among them the “O-dachi” or “ No-dachi,” great swords, or hunting swords (from “ no,” a heath or field), one of which, formerly belonging to Abe no Muneto, is preserved in the temple of Tsuboi Hachimangu. It is over 7 feet in length from the pommel to the end of the scabbard, and others vary from 6 to 7 feet, the blades being over 4 feet long, and some as much as 14 lbs. in weight. rhey are generally, if not always, in the form of tachi, with “ashi” for suspending them, and the scabbards mounted with u sem6/ > like the swords of generals. I cannot believe that they were ever used for hunting, or as weapons. It takes two persons to unsheath them, and M3 they are too badly poised to be wielded with any effect. I can only suppose that they were used as offerings at Shinto shrines, or in particular ceremonies, and carried by some official. The next group of swords are the Tan-to, short swords or daggers, having straight blades as a rule, tsubas or guards, kozukas and kogai. They differ from another class of daggers, the “Aikuchi,” insomuch as these latter have no tsuba, but a metal collar, divided, so that the upper part, representing the fuchi of the dagger, fits into the lower part, forming the koyekuchi, or mouth of the scabbard. It is somewhat difficult to know in what category to place No. 67, a curved dagger, with a small one in a scabbard on the inner curve of the larger one. No. 31 is a ‘‘ Hachiwari,” a dagger used at close quarters for tearing asunder the plates of the armour, which were tied with cord, and having a beveled edge on the inner side of the curve. With these daggers may be classed the Kwaiken, No. 56, the Kakushi, or pocket ken, and No. 57, all being concealed weapons. It is among these short swords and daggers that we should look for the most remarkable examples of mountings and metal work. The finest tsubas are of course to be found on swords, but the Fuchi Kashira, Kozukas, and Kogai, are of the same quality in both classes, while the Kojin, Menuki, and the scabbards in general, are of a richness rarely met with except on the daggers and short swords. These are mostly of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when we find many scabbards that are the work of celebrated lacquerers, such as Ritsuo, the Komas, the Kajikawas, sometimes even signed, as in the case of No. 10, by Yoyusai, or No. 68, by Ritsuo. Some of the chasings are remarkable for their richness and boldness; those on the Aikuchi, No. 113, for example, the blade of which is also excellently chased. The scabbard is of black lacquer, with specks of gold, and upon it and the hilt are the twelve zodiacal signs, or Junishi, the Tiger and Monkey forming the Kashira, the Serpent twined round the hilt, and the Rat being the rivethead. The main feature, however, is the Kojiri, formed by the Dragon in massive silver, his body covering a large portion of the scabbard, all the mounts being enriched with gold or shakud 5 . No. 114 is an unmounted blade by Umetada Mioju, made in 1623, when he was seventy years of age, and the dragon (much used by the Umetada) sculptured on it shows no sign of loss of skill. The most curious and unusual part of this blade is the pattern of the ‘‘ Yakiba,” or tempered edge. No. 115 is a very interesting blade, by Go no Yoshihiro, who damascenes his signature in gold on the tang. The official expert and valuer certifies its quality, and values it at 500 mai of gold, or 5000 yen. The Honnami family were official experts for many generations; one of them, Honnami Chukei, having the care of the swords of the present Emperor. It is stated in the ‘‘Koto Meizukushi,” that blades unsigned by the maker usually had the signature added by the expert certifying them. In those cases, the signature was usually damascened in gold or silver by the expert, who sometimes added his own signature on the other side of the tang. Occasionally he wrote the maker’s name in red lacquer, instead of damascening it; in either of these cases, even if no certificate accompanies the blade, it may be fairly assumed that it has been certified. Nos. 87, 117, and 120 are fine unmounted blades by Gassan or Gwassan, a celebrated family of sword-smiths. The first two are about 1450, showing the wavy style of forging, practised with equal skill by the later Gassan. No. 120, dated 1190, has the peculiar style of “ hada aya sugi,” forging which imitates the grain of wood. It is produced by gouging out hollows in the surface of the blade, and then forging it up to a level, so that the various strata of metal are visible like the grain of wood. From the date, this is probably the work of Oni 0 Maru, the first, or founder of the family. 144 The scabbards of swords and daggers are of course usually of a much later date than the blades and mounts, from the necessity, or the habit, of renewing the lacquered scabbard. But it is chiefly on the more modern daggers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, that we find the whole suite of mounts treating of one subject or idea, and executed by the same master. The lacquered scabbards, although usually made by a special class of lacquerers, are frequently of very fine quality, and the work of celebrated artists in lacquer, who sometimes signed them, as in the case of No. 128, which is signed by Jokasai. These complete works enable us to see how much the isolated portions lose of their effect, especially when not mounted. This very imperfect sketch is already too long, and I therefore omit all reference to the history of celebrated swords and of their makers, or to the many curious legends connected with them. My chief object has been to put together information bearing more or less directly on the specimens described in the following catalogue, and to show how much there is to observe and to learn in examining a good Japanese sword.

China may have displayed equal dexterity, and accomplished mechanical carvings of as exquisite delicacy ; but the finest specimens of Japanese ivories should not be classed under the heading of “carving,” which pre-supposes certain limits, but under “sculpture,” which knows none. For the Japanese are veritably sculptors in ivory, and not a few of their works, except in the matter of size, must needs be regarded as worthy of being compared with the finest naturalistic sculpture the world has seen. That ideal presentation of the figure which the Greeks have taught us to consider as the highest effort of the art has never attracted the Japanese artist: a serious and poetic treatment of the nude is alien to his taste ; but that he appreciates the beauty of movement, and has intimate knowledge of anatomy, one statuette in this collection (No. 158) would alone suffice to prove. It is only recently that the ivory-worker concerned himself with okiniono — i.e. f ornaments existing solely for aesthetic contemplation. Hitherto his work had been exclusively devoted to objects of personal adornment, and frequently merely as adjuncts to the work of the lacquerer, the metal-worker, and others. But now that the fashion for wearing netsuke has died out ; he has turned his attention to the production of single figures and groups on a larger scale, which, considered as sculpture, occupy much the same position as statuettes do to-day, and the figures of Tanagra did in ancient times. It would be unfair to compare sculpture produced under such widely different conditions, and inspired by such totally distinct aims, as the marble of old Greece, and the ivories of ancient or modern Japan. But we may set these figures against the terra-cottas of Tanagra, or the smaller modellings in various materials produced during the Italian Renaissance. And in such company the Japanese artist need not fear comparison. In his own way he has accomplished masterpieces which rival those by any other sculptor of the schools just mentioned. His work bears similar relation to classic statues that marble bears to ivory. The one is monumental and, apart from the accidents of daily life, fit to commemorate deities or heroes ; the other may be employed for a button or a casket for the jewels of an empress, and play either part consistently. For our purpose we can set aside the mere carvings, although they reach a degree of excellence beyond comparison. For the tour de f 〇 7 xe of the Chinese craftsman looks hard and mechanical beside the equally dexterous manipulation, com- bined with vigorous invention and breadth of style, that the Japanese have produced, as ; for example, a cabinet by Tohekido Yoshi-ichi (No. 272). The ivories which merit consideration as sculpture, whether netsuke that occupy a bare cubic inch in bulk, or pieces as large as the limits of the material allow, are worthy of serious attention. It is curious, but true, that the art of Japan is seen nowhere with larger and more dignified expression 筆 ‘彎: mi m 160 IVORIES ^.THOUGH the art 〇 f carving in ivory is not limited to ]apan ? yet few other nations have ewr rivalled i s masterpieces In this materiaL China may have displayed equal dexterity, - nci Accorjnphshed mechanical carvings of ns exquisite delicacy ; but the finest specimens of Japanese ivories sriuuld not be classed under the heading of ^ 'carving/ , which pre-supposes certain lirnits, but under ^sculpture/' which knows none.

The sculptors which Japan will, no doubt, produce ere long, are likely to spring from the netsuke carvers, even as the great fresco painters of Italy came from artisans already acquainted with the mechanism and technique of the craft. Most of the larger pieces in this collection, especially those which seem worthy of being considered as sculpture, are of modern date. But the art of the older pieces, which are usually netsuk6 in essence, although they may never have been drilled to be used on the cord of a pouch, is often quite as fine ; indeed, in studying some it is hard to refrain from superlatives. Barry6 did no more life-like animals, and no Western artist has ever expressed the forms of flowers and foliage more delicately. By these Grinling Gibbons seems a mere mechanic. This side of the art has, however, been amply treated, and here it seemed best to point to the statuettes — which need only to be compared with Dresden figures, with the small objects in Parian or Bronze, which some people would have you believe are their true prototypes in Europe — to show qualities quite beyond the region of bric-a-brac. The eagle slayer (48), an archer with his quiver (158), a fisherman with a net (135)， and a figure in wood and ivory of Ono-no-Komachi (No. 30), are admirable examples of the sculptors art — employed, it is true, with certain ornate details, but preserving, nevertheless, a fine sense of form and movement, which entitle them to high praise. The sculpturesque power, so long cramped within limits, will doubtless astonish the world one day by more ambitious, if not finer works; for, without exaggeration, it is quite doubtful if anything could surpass some of the ivories, if size is left out of the question as an accident of no importance.

'^THOUGH enamel filling spaces hollowed in the substance of the metal 一 u champleve work” 一 is not unknown in Japan, cloisonne, in which the pattern is produced by metal rims soldered on to the surface of the metal, the interstices between being filled by translucent or opaque enamel, is far more usual. As the method is again in common use among us, it is needless to describe the details of production ; * but, as it is another craft which the Japanese artist has carried far beyond rivalry, it must be regarded as a subject of great importance to all students of the art of Japan. It is a craft which flourishes to-day, and produces work infinitely finer, so far as technique and combination of colours are concerned, than anything of the past. It is true that this elaborate perfection of unish and exquisite smoothness of the surface is not achieved without the loss of some qualities that endear the earlier works to an artist. In older examples the irregularity of surface imparts an effect not unlike that of old mosaics, where each tessera is set at a slightly different angle from its fellows, and so gives a vibrating quality of colour as the various facets reflect the light. In modern work the surface is brought to a brilliant level, which is as uninterrupted by acci- dental variation as on the finest lacquer. In some cases the rims, which elsewhere appear as bright metal outlining every detail, have disappeared, except under the most minute scrutiny (as in the large vases with ducks, No. i, by Namikawa Sosuke of Tokyo). The most elaborate examples of modern work are produced by one of the Daimyo class, Namikawa Yasuyuki of Kyoto, who, like others, when the feudal system was abolished, turned to the fine arts for a means of liveli- hood (No. 51, &c.). In these exquisite examples of modern enamels, minute detail is carried to a degree which can hardly be surpassed. Little is known in Japan as to the early history of the art, beyond the fact that it was introduced from China at the end of the sixteenth century ; and from that time to the present the Hirata family have produced admirable work, principally in small inlays of translucent enamels on sword furniture, or other small objects, generally of iron. Mr. Bowes, in his “Notes on Shippo,” gives full and interesting particulars of the family of Hirata. Examples of their work will be founa in the collection, in accessories of sword furniture, and in metal-work. * Rein describes fully the method of manufacture in a The Industries of Japan, 55 p. 493.
