Description: This is a unique Japanese kiseru from the mid Meiji Era (c. 1890). This kiseru is made of two separate bronze ends with a central section of aged bamboo. The center is of a special bamboo. It has an aged patina from over a century of loving use. This compact slim style was more suited to a courtesan or geisha. This 120 year old antique kiseru measures 9" (23 cm). A truly unique vintage kiseru. It has been well used yet well loved and, along with its warm aged patina it remains in very good (functional) condition. Has good draw. The last 2 pictures (not included) show wood block prints from the early 1800's of a geisha holding a kiseru similar to this one.
