Daimonomono. Asahi Shunkei, tea caddy with a shoulder strap. This tea caddy was formerly in the collection of Kizuya, Nara, and is probably named after him. The body is covered with black kinky glaze over persimmon kinky glaze, with a yellow glaze from the shoulder to the body, with a round star or flying cloud-like pattern appearing in places, and a dancing spatula about two centimeters long across the body. Both the shape and glaze color are very similar to those of Yodo hagashirazu. This piece may have entered the Maeda family when Maeda Toshitsune requested a hometown hijapu from Nara Kizuya. According to the “Kanseiju Shuushoku Shuukke Bu,” the Shogun Tsunayoshi visited the residence of the Kaga clan on April 26, 1702, and presented it to the family. In later years, it was passed down to the Fukagawa wealthy merchant Kashima Seibei and became one of his family’s six treasures, then to the Osaka Konoike family in 1904 (Meiji 37) and to the Inoue family in 1907 (Meiji 40).
