Description
A DAGGER-MOUNTED DARK WOOD KISERUZUTSU WITH ONI
Japan, Meiji period (1868-1912)

Of muso-zutsu type, the dark-brown wood grain ground finely decorated with incision work as well as gold and silver takazogan to depict an oni being pelted with roasted soybeans during Setsubun, a pained and fearsome expression on his face. The rim lined in gilt metal and set with a cord attachment in the form of an eyelet.

LENGTH 24.5 cm (the pipe case) and 15.3 cm (the blade)

Condition: Very good condition with minor surface wear.
Provenance: British private collection.

Setsubun is celebrated during the first day of spring, or the end of the new year in Edo period Japan, and includes the rite of oni-yarai or mame-maki, where roasted beans are thrown at oni to rid the coming year of any demons and disease-bringing spirits.
