A great specialty. Korean tea bowl, Mishima. Tea bowl in the shape of a bucket. The outer surface has a five-tiered horizontal stripe pattern with a white glaze over an indigo rat ground glaze. There is a large repair from the mouth to the body. It seems that the lacquer was applied between the cracks in order to add a Wabi-style scene to this bowl. During the Rikyu period, there was a tendency to intentionally damage tea utensils to deepen their wabi flavor, as they disliked tea utensils to be too perfect, and this tea bowl is probably an example of such a tendency. The interior is a plain indigo gray color, but there are three lines of indigo stripes around the bottom, and a dot-like pattern in the glaze. The brownish tannin runs from the mishima barrel around the mouth to the body of the bowl, and the pattern is clear. It was originally owned by Sen no Rikyu and passed down through his eldest son Michiyasu to Takekoshi Yamashiro Masatake, a retainer of the Owari domain, who presented it to the lord of the domain, and since then it has been passed down through the Owari Tokugawa family. It is currently in the collection of the Tokugawa Reimeikai. (Ganmono Meibutsu Ki, Meibutsu Ki, Kokin Meibutsu Ruiju, Taisho Meikikan)
