According to the “Tsuda Sosho Chayu Nikki (Diary of a Tea Ceremony),” it is written that on December 2, Eiroku 9, Takeno Shingoro, a son of Shao’o, used a Bizen-mono hagashirazu, suggesting that tea caddies with a form closely imitating Karamono were still being fired from the late Muromachi period. This tea caddy does not seem to have been made during the Eiroku period, but it is a tea caddy that faithfully imitates the karamono shoulder-jointed tea caddy. The upper part of the caddy from the body up has been fired in kiln-hen with a sesame glaze over it, but the lower half of the caddy has been fired in a hidasuki color. The large size and sturdy appearance of this tea caddy shows its antiquity. The bottom of the bowl is made of a wooden plank, and a thin cord is wrapped around the body. The kiln mark is carved in shallow spatula on the bottom.
