This is a small tea cloth container, but the refined design is truly a work of art, with its clever use of color and cute design. The checkered pattern is interestingly shown diagonally, and the green and red background is divided into sections, with cranes, clouds, and eight treasures filling the sections. While imitating the Kinrande style, it also shows a sophisticated design sense that can be called “Kyoto style”. The mark “Kawahin Shiryū” is stamped in the center of the flat bottom, and on the lid of the box it is written “Goshu-sha Sekiga Chakin-tsutsumi”, and on the underside of the lid it is written “Zengorō-zo” and the Yongle mark is stamped, but it is not a copy of the Goshu-sha.
