Cita: Japan, late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries Small rimankyu archery set. These bow-and-arrow sets were traditionally carried in a nobleman’s palanquin for personal protection while traveling. The bow is made of baleen and is lacquered with a gold cloud and dragon motif. The set of eleven arrows includes ten with lacquered shafts; three-feather fletchings (eagle feathers); bulbous ivory nocks; and bodkin heads. The additional arrow is similar to the others, but it has a karimata head and four-feather fletching (two of eagle and two of copper pheasant). The rack holding the bow and arrows is also of baleen with decoration matching that of the bow; the leather covering on the base has a gilt aoi mon on the front. Set stands 56.5 cm high. Molto interessante. Un piccolo arco maneggevole per difesa personale, la "Derringer" degli archi... ed evidentemente i fanoni di balena si prestano, come immaginavo, alla costruzione di archi compositi. Ora quasi quasi prendo la mia canna da pesca, innesco con un gamberetto fresco, mi tiro su la mia balena, le prendo un paio di fanoni e poi la ributto in mare... |
