Jhukou Bunrin
Jhukou Bunrin

A great masterpiece. A tea caddy with a stylized design in Chinese. Its name is derived from the fact that it belonged to Shukoh. After Shukoh, it came into the possession of Tennojiya Munenori, and is also known as Tennojiya Bunrin and Munenori Bunrin. It is usually thickly made and heavy in weight. The mouth is small, the steamer is low, and the steamer is slightly concave around the steamer. The glaze color is subdued, and various scenes can be seen. The overall workmanship of this masterpiece is unique among Chinese-style wurin. It came into the possession of Oda Nobunaga in 1539 from Tsuda Munenoh, but was returned the following year. There seems to have been a complicated situation during this period. Later, it passed through Hakamada Naisho, a ronin from Sakai, Hosokawa Sansai, and the Tokugawa Shogunate, and then to the Nanbu family.
