Water Jar with Mishima Imojigashira
Important Cultural Property.
The name “Mishima” comes from the dotted line pattern on this water jar, which resembles the calendar distributed by the Izu Mishima Taisha shrine.
From ancient times, it was fired in kilns throughout the Nansen area and became a stalwart favorite of wabicha (tea ceremony) masters, and several famous tea bowls are known, including carved mishima, hana-mishima, and brush-me mishima.
However, mizusashi are rare.
This is an exquisite sui-jishi with a neat figure and a wabi-ish taste.
The characters on the lower part of the body, “Goryeong Nijufu,” indicate that it was an official item, with “Goryeong” being the name of the kiln and “Nijufu” being the name of the government office.
