Poppen. Popping toy blown. 2005. Inspirated by one of the Utamaro's best known series contains this bijin (lovely lady). She must be a playful type, for like a child, she blows in a poppen, an ingenious toy-clacker of the Edo period. The trinket is made of blown glass with a hollow stem and an extremely thin and delicate glass membrane covering the outer end. When gently blown, the flexible membrane expands, and when the air is is released or sucked back into the mouth, it returns to its original position, making the distinctive pop sound for which the toy is named. Glass was a foreign importation in Japan and the poppen was first introduced through Nagasaki, where both Chinese and Portuguese are credited with the first blowing importations. As the toy is not seen in the West but can maybe still be found in some Chinese shops, there's a greater possibility of a Chinese origin.<br />From : Playthings and pastimes in Japanese prints written by Lea Beaten.<br />Sounds and dimensions very various. 2005.<br /><br />Crédit photographique : Xavier Nicostrate. - Laurence Brabant Alain Villechange
