"HEAD BUCKET" NOW RELIC
Gruesome Article Passed With the
Passing Of the Feudai System
Among the Japanese.

One Of the most grim articles OF
household furniture known to man is
the kubioke, OF head bucket OF the
japanese of the old days. The bucket
was q part of the furnishings OF the
%saIr1rai, or fighting man in court cir
cles. and was kept by him In q high,
narrow closet with sliding doors close
to an a%lcOve, considered the place OF
honor of a samurai's home. When the
head of the house offended his lord
there was no bother Of q trial or an
arrest. Instead there came a very pO-
lite note from the court, which stated
the lord was sure that the samurui
would return the noble honor Of his
family. The messenger took back a
note as polite as the n brought. in
which the writer thanked hls lord for
his honorable generosity.
He then shaved, ba'hed, doHned a
white robe, and committed hari-kari by
falling on his sword. His head was
taken Off and placed In the kubioke,
wrapped In white paper, and a nap
kin bearing his crest was placed over
IT. A messenger then took the bucket
10 the court, where the head was ex-
hiblted and identified and then re-
turned 10 the family with a polite note
OF regret.
The ~head-bucbet now Is merely a
decorative hit as little used as the
spinning wheel of our parlors.
