Jungheung specialties. Korean teacups and fishmongers. Also known as Edo Koryo or Edo Uoya. This name comes from the fact that it was a famous tea bowl in Edo. It has a wide bottom with a blue and an austere brown color on one side of the bowl. The workmanship is somewhat similar to that of the Rikyu Uoya, and it is a one-te variant. Originally owned by Kobori Enshu, it was later passed down to Matsudaira Shudenashira, lord of the Shimabara domain, and entered the Sumitomo family for 31,000 yen when the family sold it in 1918 (Meibutsu Ki, “Meibutsu Ki,” “Meibutsu Ki,” “Meibutsu Ki”). (Meibutsu Ki, Taisho Meikikan)
