Document source description
The Spanish conquests of the Americas introduced tobacco to Europe in the 16th century. Later that century, Spanish or Portuguese merchants introduced tobacco into Japan—it served both a medicinal purpose as well as for recreation, and soon smoking became a very popular habit across all levels of Japanese society.A traditional Japanese smoking set like this example is both functional and fashionable and includes a pipe (kiseru), a stylish pipe case (kiseruzutsu), and a matching tobacco pouch (tabako-ire). The set is hung from the waist sash and kept in place by an attached netsuke (toggle).
