Specialty. Tea caddy, Sohaku kiln. It is inscribed with this name because it resembles the shape of a Koshin monkey with its ears held down. It was in the collection of the Hirase family of Osaka, but moved to the Murayama family there in 1886 (Meiji 19). (Meimono Chairi Meiri-sho, Chakki Meiri-shu, Taisho Meikikan)
