TAKAMURA SHOIN: A WOOD BOKUTO (DOCTOR'S SWORD) IN THE FORM OF A WAKIZASHI IN KOSHIRAE

By Takamura Shoin (1813-1877), signed Hokoku 報国
Japan, mid-19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

The saya (scabbard) meticulously incised and carved in shishiabori with large chrysanthemum blossoms borne on leafy shrubs, further applied with a kurigata, and the kojiri and koiguchi neatly rendered, the reverse with a kozuka slot bordered by a band of rinzu (key-fret). The tsuka similarly carved with rectangular panels enclosing butterflies and dragonflies. The narrow tsuba removable and incised with a band of rinzu to the edge. The tsuka similarly decorated with panels enclosing butterflies and dragonflies. The wood blade is removable. Signed to the saya HOKOKU.

The bokuto inscribed ‘The wind is blowing in the mid-autumn and yellow flowers (chrysanthemums) are old’ 気淋璃欹復斜秋、風満帋老黄花元.

LENGTH 44.6 cm

Condition: Very good condition with minor surface wear, light scratches, and tiny nicks. The kozuka lost.

With a wood tomobako inscribed Takamura Shoin no sakuhin [The work of Takamura Shoin] 高村小隠之作品, the interior of the cover inscribed by a previous owner who describes the artist’s eventful life and notes his name as Takamura Tahei 高村太平, dated Showa 47 [1972].

Takamura Shoin (1813-1877), also known as Takamura Tahei, art name Hokoku, was a royalist and retainer at the Kyogoku lords, Maruki Domain, Sanuki Province, modern Kagawa Prefecture. He was erudite and studied Chinese classics and seal carving. He was an active supported of the Imperial family, as alluded to in his art name Hokoku, which literally means to devote oneself to one’s country and patriotism.

During the Edo period, with the end of the civil rivalry between the Shogun and his enemies, carrying arms became obsolete in Japan. The wearing of small dummy swords by the Samurai was imitated by doctors, artists, and other professionals as a symbol of social and professional status. During the 18th and 19th centuries the bokuto lost its sword-like appearance and size and took on a more abstract and decorative form, continuing into the Meiji period and beyond.
