A stag antler kiseruzutsu (pipe case) depicting a long-legged islander with a crazed expression and his tongue showing, enhanced with the use of a yellow inlay for the eyes. He reminds me of the New Zealand All Blacks doing the Hakka,. Signed Hakusai to the reverse, an almost identical pipe case is pictured in Netsuke and Inrō Artists and How to Read Their Signatures, by George Lazarnick.

1830–1843
