Chukoh specialty. This tea caddy was made by Fujishiro Shunkei, a famous Chukoh craftsman. This gourd-shaped tea caddy has a rim at the mouth and a double-layered waist. It is a thin, good-looking and exquisite tea caddy. It was originally owned by Marquis Hosokawa, then by Sakai Garakuto, and then by Matsudaira Fumai. It was exchanged in 1803 for a Nawanoren water jar owned by Tennojiya Gohei of Osaka, and then in 1884 by the Watanabe family, and then by the Akahoshi family. Taisho Meikikan”)
