JAPAN.
This most delightful country with its kindly inhabitants are great Smokers in a small measure if the regulation size of the generally used bowl be taken as a standard. Many people fancy that the little Jap. bowls the real size being thus.—are used for Opium—not at all. The Tobacco they use is very light in Colour & very fine cut indeed. The full size of the general pipe is given on the opposite page at the foot. Their Tobacco pouchs are very artistically worked & ornamented their Pipe cases suspended from the Girdle by carefully carved “NITSUKES” are lovely.
