(22.86 × 51.44 × 21.91 cm), Bamboo (hōbichiku or susudake), rattan, lacquer, Japan, 19th century, Wada Waichisai I (1851-1901) was a pioneering bamboo artist active in the city of Osaka in the second half of the 1800s. While much remains unknown about his life and practice, the lineage of bamboo art that he establishedand which continues todayis considered one of Japan’s most distinguished. The first-generation Wada Waichisai, a specialist of Chinese-style bamboo basketry, catered to a clientele made up largely of members of the literati in Osaka, who practiced a type of Chinese-style tea ceremony called sencha, requiring a variety of vessels fashioned from bamboo. In addition to Wada Waichisai II (1877-1933) and Wada Waichisai III (1899-1975), heirs to the lineage name, Wada Waichisai I’s students included Tanabe Chikuunsai, who established his own prominent lineage of bamboo artiTerracotta fragment of a kylix (drinking cup) 500-480 B.C.

Its name, binioù khoz, means old bagpipe’, differentiating them from the later Great Highland Pipes, which were introduced in Brittany in the early 20th century. The latter were named binioù nevez (new bagpipe), and then binioù braz (large bagpipe). The binioù khoz is sometimes referred to as binioù bihan (small bagpipe) due to its small size (Le Gonidec 2013:97). One of the particularities of this instrument is the fact that it plays one octave above the bombarde, a Breton shawm that it the binioù khoz is traditionally paired with. This duet is called a couple de sonneurs’, or just sonneurs’. The binioù has a long history in Brittany, but it is in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century that the practice becomes ubiquitous and starts appearing regularly in local iconography (Le Troadec 2013:10). From then on, the sonneurs are well-known figures called upon to play at all sorts of celebrations, ebucket isolated on whiteBeaded Tab, c. 1900, 5 x 1 3/8 in.
