Thank you for viewing.

Takatori Ware Gourd-shaped Mizusashi (with lacquered lid)
Made by Shoichi Motonaga, Traditional Craftsman, Motonaga Touen
Mouth diameter approx. 16.0 cm (18.0 cm at handles)
Approx. 13.0 cm (base)
Height approx. 15.0 cm (without lid) Lid thickness 0.5 cm
Comes with a shared wooden box.

Among the many mizusashi made by Shoichi,
this gourd-shaped one appears to be rare,
and it was in a condition that showed how much my mother-in-law cherished it.

This is a cherished item of my mother-in-law, who enjoyed the Way of Tea seriously, having set up a tea room in her home and prepared a hearth. When I asked a specialty tea ceremony shop to take it all together, they said, These are very expensive and all good items, so it would be better if someone who practices the Way of Tea uses them with care.

Please consider it if you are satisfied after viewing.
I have tried to photograph it carefully, but if you would like to see more, please feel free to comment and I will respond.

I am listing this item with the hope that it will be passed on and used by someone who understands and will continue to use it.
Thank you very much.
