[Tea utensils/tea ceremony tools Mizujashi (water pitcher)] Flat Mizujashi, blue and white, tub side (Okegawa), split lid, made by Tezuka Toho

●Okegawa: This is a type of water jar with an old blue and white porcelain design, with a cylindrical body squeezed into a shallow ring flower shape, vertical stripes in indigo around the knot, and a connected lightning pattern painted around the opening.
It is said that this name comes from the fact that the vertical lines on the body resemble the side of a barrel.
It is also called shisen, which is the name given to the paper used for writing Chinese poetry, due to the resemblance of the lines drawn on it.
The water jars for the bucket side include Shinto, which have inscriptions such as "Made in the Kangxi era of the Great Qing Dynasty," and they come in a variety of designs other than thunder patterns, designs around the mouth and bottom, and designs with a yorakumon pattern on the inside of the mouth.
