19c Japanese RUYI Buddhist scepter NYOI by KANSHUAN

Description: Late Meiji/Taisho (1890s-1910s) Japanese wooden nyoi - a Buddhist scepter of simple shape with its head carved as a rolled up scroll. Nyoi, or Ruyi scepter is a traditional symbol of scholarship and transmission of knowledge. Elegant carving on dense fruitwood with beautiful texture, hole for the cord is lined with darker wood, two old gold lacquer patches on the head, wonderful patina to the surface, very pleasant to the touch. Carved on the front with an inscription DAI TACHIBANA WATASHIMONO that can be translated as “theme of Tachibana music (when the emperor enters)”. Carved signature KANSHUAN followed by kakihan (carved monogram of the artist) on the lower part of the back. Lengthy poem in cursive script on the upper part of the back refers to gigaku (old Japanese Imperial court music). Great subtle piece for scholar’s desk or a practicing Buddhist. Length 13 1/2 inches.
