A Shinnoteoke is a water jar in the shape of a barrel with a Shin-nuri handle. It has a hoop on the body and bottom, low legs on three sides of the bottom, and a split lid. It is a dish that comes with a side of pork.
It is said that Murata Juko liked the lacquered tub that was originally in Higashiyama Palace because of its cedar wood, and used it as a water jar with rattan hoops on the top and bottom. Later, Takeno Joo repainted it with real lacquer and used it as a stand. This is called a "Mateoke."
Sho'o prefers large ones, while Rikyu prefers small ones.
In the tea ceremony records, it first appears in 1539 (Tenbun 8), was most common from the Eiroku era (1558-1570) to around 1585 (Tensho 13), peaked around 1580 (Tensho 8), and its use began to decline around 1586 (Tensho 12), dropped dramatically in 1588 (Tensho 14), and was replaced by a rapid increase in the use of tsurube mizujars.
