One of these working groups, Jasarevic said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], works on Articles 9 and 10: “regulation of the contents of tobacco products” and “regulation of tobacco product disclosures.” The group has been asked to submit a first set of draft guidelines to the Conference of the Parties for consideration at its fourth session. That session is scheduled for Nov. 15-20 in Uruguay. It is the language contained in Articles 9 and 10, among others, that have producers and state officials concerned.
One of those guidelines would ban ingredients other than tobacco in cigarette production. If that happens, it could mean trouble for burley tobacco producers. During the curing process, burley becomes harsh tasting, so manufacturers add ingredients and sometimes blend different types of tobacco to make cigarettes made with burley more pleasant to smokers. It was snapped up quickly. Brown Harris Stevens put the Duke-Semans on the market in January.[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
If it were a normal home, stagnating on the market for nearly seven months would bode very poorly for a sale. But in the rarified world of luxury real estate, where homes fetch $10 million or more, it’s expected that properties may languish on the market for two or three years. Only a few thousand people in the world can afford homes like this, so sellers expect to wait. The fact that the turnaround was comparatively quick indicates wise pricing, and perhaps growing demand in the luxury market.
In an essay written in 1609, Imperial Prince Toshihito commented that “whether gentle or simple,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cleric or lay, man or woman,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there is no one who does not like this herb…Persons who know nothing of one another, who come from different worlds and walks of life, can nonetheless find mutual ground and links of friendship in their common liking for the herb,cheap marlboro with fresh tastes, and those with a taste for poetry can find in it matters to inspire them. Wherever one may walk,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there is no quarter of the city unscented by its fragrant smoke…”
And smoke they did. At first, Japanese pipes and tobacco pouches imitated the Western model. Pipes were made of clay and were long and thin with small bowls. Meanwhile Western pipes were evolving to have somewhat shorter stems and larger bowls. Westerners carried shredded tobacco in pouches that could be conveniently stowed in their pockets. The Japanese,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however, retained slender pipes with small bowls. And they developed their own way of preparing tobacco for smoking. It was cured, dried, and shredded so fine that it was almost a powder.[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
This was a luxury product, albeit a modest one, so a little had to go a long way. In making a tonkotsu, the artisan’s imagination wasn’t limited to Daruma. One artist used bone-chip inlay in a rectangular wooden box and attached to it, as a pipe sheath, a hollowed piece of antler covered in script. Another artist took a tree root and shaped it into what appears to be a mound of rocks with a small flower blooming on top. A modest but artful box is made from straw woven in three patterns and painted.
While tonkotsu are the main attraction, the other pieces of a tobacco set are also worthy of attention. Pipe sheaths are often nicely carved, also with good-luck figures. Spiders were very popular with the striving merchant class. To accompany a yawning Daruma, a pipe sheath echoes the tonkotsu’s design with Daruma having a good long stretch. The pipes themselves,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the beads on mingei tobacco sets, tend to be simple. Inscribed silver pipe fittings and elaborate netsuke are usually reserved for the more expensive varieties.
