A great masterpiece. This is a tea caddy with a shoulder impulse. The edge of the blade is sharp, and there are two black stripes around the edge, one of which is an uki-suji. The shoulder is slightly chamfered and the body is stretched, and one line of chinsuji goes around the half of the tea caddy.
The body is stretched, with a single line of chinkuji going around half of the tea container. The overall body is light purple with a black candy glaze, with a hint of brown inside and a blue lapis lazuli color in the glaze pool. The nadir of the oki shape starts from both sides under the shoulders, then joins in a single line under the body strap, and ends at the edge of the tray. The glaze pool is thick and the blue lapis lazuli glaze is particularly beautiful. The ground color is purple with a brownish tinge, and the black ame glaze is clearly visible because of its brilliant color.
Originally owned by Asakura Kurozaemon, it was later passed down to Miyao Daio, and the name Miyao Jiaozu was used for the first time. 1583 (Tensho 11), the Imperial Household Seal presented it to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and in 1615 (Genna 1), when Osaka fell, Tokugawa Ieyasu obtained it and gave it to Iyi Sweeping Prince Naotaka in recognition of his war service at the time. Since then, it has been a family heirloom of the Iyi family. The outer box of this tea caddy is hollowed out of a large zelkova pillar, and is over 27 cm high, 30 cm long, and 30 cm wide.
