パペットホームズ、大河ドラマなどの好きなテレビ番組やラグビーについて書いています。アフィリエイトはやっていません。／Welcome to my blog. I write about some Japanese TV programmes including NHK puppetry and Taiga Drama, Sherlock Holmes and rugby. I don't do affiliate marketing.
According to Lestra's comment to "Homes' party horns", Sherlock Holmes in the canon has four pipes.Though he is considered to use a calabash pipe regularly, this type did not exist in Britain in the 1890s. At that time, briar pipe that is made of root nodule of a shrub that grows on sterile land was popular.
Why did calabash pipe become to symbolise Holmes, then? The reason is that the big size one was used to make audience clearly understand that he has a pipe when the canon was adapted to play. And it is said that repeating smoking and puffing puts anything else out of his mind and enables him think everything meditatively.
