It is said that Murata Juko liked the lacquered bucket that was originally located in Higashiyama Palace because it was made of cedar, and that he attached rattan hoops to the top and bottom and used it as a water jar. Later, Takeno Joo had it repainted with real lacquer and used it for a stand; this is called a real hand bucket.
