拍品描述
A RARE WOVEN RATTAN KISERUZUTSU (PIPE CASE) WITH LACQUERED POEM SLIPS Japan, late 19th century, Meiji period (1868-1912) Of muso-zutsu type, finely woven from narrow strips of rattan and decorated in gold and silver takamaki-e and sumi-togidashi maki-e with two overlapping poem slips. The lower slip bears part of a celebrated verse by Matsuo Basho, while the upper depicts early-blooming plum branches beneath a full moon. The rim is fitted with a gilt-metal mount and pierced for suspension. The upper slip is inscribed at the left edge Makoto ya and sealed Hai. The inscription may be read as “indeed” or “it is true,” while the seal perhaps alludes to haikai or haiku, reinforcing the poetic subject. The lower slip is inscribed: Haru mo yaya / keshiki totonou / tsuki to ume, Basho 春もやや けしき調ふ 月と梅 “Spring is gradually taking shape: the moon and plum blossoms.” The verse is deliberately partly obscured by the overlapping slip, perhaps inviting the viewer to recognize and complete the familiar poem. LENGTH 19.8 cm
