The rim and ingot-shaped cord attachment made from gold. Signed to the back on a red lacquer tablet HOSAI and on a tortoiseshell-inlaid tablet ROSETSU.Together with a coral ojime and en suite tobacco pouch (tabako-ire) crafted from leather and with a shibuichi kanamono (pouch fitting) of three geese with gilt eyes. The reverse of the kanamono finely worked with gold hirazogan depicting lotus.HEIGHT 20.4 cm (the pipe case), LENGTH 13 cm (the pouch), DIAMETER 1.7 cm (the ojime)Condition: The pipe case in very good condition with minor wear, light rubbing to the takazogan rain, and traces of use. The leather pouch and pouch fitting in very good condition with minor wear, traces of use, loose seams to the interior, and some rubbing to the shibuichi kanamono.Provenance: Grace Tsumugi, London. Collection of James and Christine Heusinger, acquired from the above. James and Christine Heusinger started collecting Japanese art in the late 1970s. Their collection began with a modest piece by Seifu Yohei III and expanded into over 100 pieces. They donated the majority of their pieces to the Cleveland Museum of Art, which now houses the most important collection of ceramics by the Seifu Yohei studio. While their collection was mostly focused on modern Japanese ceramics, they also had a fondness for lacquer, purchasing select pieces from noted dealers such as Grace Tsumugi and Sharen Chappel.Paul Moss and Max Rutherston identified two near identical pipe cases in their book, They are All Fire and Every One Doth Shine. While these were the only two then known, Moss and Rutherston correctly postulated, “Given the unusually dynamic nature of the design, it seems likely that Rosetsu made more than two versions; another may yet manifest itself.” The present lot represents a third type of this same pipe case with an altogether new artist represented, Hosai.Literature comparison:Compare a near-identical woven rattan kiseruzutsu depicting a descending goose in the rain, signed Rosetsu, ca. 1880, illustrated in Paul Moss and Max Rutherston (2010) They are All Fire and Every One Doth Shine: The Elly Nordskog Collection of Japanese Inro, Pipecases and Netsuke, London, Sydney L. Moss, p. 308-309, no. 81. Compare a closely related rattan kiseruzutsu with an identical motif albeit lacking the gold lacquer rain, signed Rosetsu, formerly in the Raymond and Frances Bushell collection, illustrated in Bushell, Raymond (1980) Kiserzutsu: The Japanese Pipe Case, Arts of Asia, November to December, p. 88, no. 16.

Collection of James and Christine Heusinger, acquired from the above, the interior with an old collector's note. James and Christine Heusinger started collecting Japanese art in the late 1970s. Their collection began with a modest piece by Seifu Yohei III and expanded over 100 pieces. They donated the majority of their pieces to the Cleveland Museum of Art, which now houses the most important collection of ceramics by the Seifu Yohei studio. While their collection was mostly focused on modern Japanese ceramics, they also had a fondness for lacquer, purchasing select pieces from noted dealers such as Grace Tsumugi and Sharen Chappel.Shirayama Shosai (1853-1923) is widely considered the finest lacquer artist of the Meiji and Taisho periods. He began working in lacquer at the young age of twelve and rose to become a professor at the Tokyo Art School where he was granted the title of Teishitsu gigeiin ('Imperial Craftsman') in 1907. His students became some of the best 20th century lacquer artists in Japan. The artist is recorded in E.A. Wrangham's The Index of Inro Artists, p. 255. Shosai's works of art are just as highly valued, like the work of the celebrated Shibata Zeshin (1807-1891). However, Shosai's works are much rarer.Literature comparison:According to Jan Dees, there are only nine known pipe cases by Shosai. The majority of these are in the Baur Collection, Geneva, with two others in the Collection of Melvin Jahss and Collection of E.A. Wrangham. This lot represents a new, previously unknown tenth kiseruzutsu by the master. Compare two lacquer kiseruzutsu with the same signature and red lacquer seal, by Shosai, illustrated in Dees, Jans (2002) Japanese Lacquer Artist, Shirayama Shosai (1853-1923), Arts of Asia, March-April, p. 101, no. 25 and 26.Auction comparison:Compare a related lacquer kiseruzutsu decorated with a gold nadeshiko spray, signed Shosai, at Bonhams, The Edward Wrangham Collection Of Japanese Art Part III, 15 May 2012, London, lot 171 (sold for GBP 21,250).

A FINE LACQUER KISERUZUTSU WITH BUTTERFLIESUnsignedJapan, late 19th centuryOf muso-zutsu type, the burgundy-lacquered pipe case carved along the lower section on a stippled ground with a continuous band of various types of butterflies flying in a kaleidoscope, their wings and bodies incised with detailed patterns, enclosed by a cloudlike border. The artist paid special attention to depth and perspective, carving some butterflies smaller and others larger within the rabble of delicate wings. The textured shibuichi rim with a gold looped cord attachment.LENGTH 20.7 cmCondition: Very good condition with minor wear and three minuscule touchups to the mid-section.Butterflies have important meaning to Daoist philosophers as they represent metamorphosis. The noted philosopher Soshi (Zhuangzhi) used butterflies in on of his most famous stories. The story appears at the end of the chapter On the Equality of Things: “Once, Zhuang Zhou dreamed he was a butterfly, a butterfly flitting and fluttering about, happy with himself and doing as he pleased. He didn't know that he was Zhuang Zhou. Suddenly he woke up and there he was, solid and unmistakable Zhuang Zhou. But he didn't know if he was Zhuang Zhou who had dreamt he was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming that he was Zhuang Zhou. Between Zhuang Zhou and the butterfly there must be some distinction! This is called the Transformation of Things.” (Zhuangzi, chapter 2 [Watson translation])

IKKOSAI: A VERY RARE IVORY NETSUKE OF WASOBEI IN THE LAND OF LILLIPUTBy 'Saru' Ikkosai, signed Ikkosai 一光齋Japan, Tokyo, late 19th century, Meiji period (1868-1912)Finely carved, Wasobei sitting cross-legged, contemplatively smoking his kiseru (pipe) as two Lilliputians carry his tabako-ire with kiseruzutsu, pouch and ashtray netsuke, all attached to a carrying pole. His face is stern as he considers the implications of a land where his size commands respect, his sword strung to his side and the focused eyes inlaid with reddish horn. Two himotoshi to the underside. Signed IKKOSAI.LENGTH 4.6 cmCondition: Very good condition with minor expected wear, very few natural age cracks, a tiny chip to the edge of the bow on Wasobei's head.The story of Shikaiya Wasobei was published by an author under the pseudonym Yukokushi in 1774, titled Ikoku Kidan Wasobei ('Wasobei: Strange Tales from Distant Lands'). Known as the Japanese Gulliver, Wasobei was a wealthy merchant from Nagasaki, who traveled to six of the three-thousand worlds of the Buddhist Universe. The first translation of the story was presented to the Asian Art Society of Japan in 1879 by Basil Hall Chamberlain, and remains the only translation. Chamberlain drew several similarities to Jonathan Swift's book Gulliver's Travels, which came out 50 years earlier than Ikoku Kidan's Wasobei in 1726, but concluded that while the authors may have drawn from similar inspirations, Yukokushi never came into contact with Swift's work.The present scene is taken from part two of Wasobei's story, Ikoku Saiken Wasobei Kohen ('Wasobei II: Rediscovery of Distant Lands'), which was published in 1779 by Sawai Iro. According to Diuewke Eijer, Wasobei encounters the land of the Lilliputians in this story, however Sawai Iro's book has yet to be translated. For more discussion on the story of Wasobei, see Eijer, Diuewek (2023), Wasobei L'Enigmatique, in Le Bulletin Association Franco Japonaise, no. 156, p. 26-38.For a detailed discussion of the artist see INSJ Vol. 39, no. 3, Fall 2019, pp. 29-34. The artist only very rarely carved netsuke depicting people or legendary figures.Literature comparison:Compare a related depiction of Wasobei wearing his sword and nestled into the hand of a giant in the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, accession number AK-MAK-1133.Trade Certificate: The trade certificate for the sale of this lot within the EU has been granted (permit number FR2301300082-K).
