This is Kodaiji Oniwa-yaki pottery, built by Goto Myoden at Entoku-in temple.
Entoku-in called the palace where Kita no Mandokoro lived "Eikoin-den," and all successive chief priests of Entoku-in have taken that name.
He devoted himself to producing Raku ware, Oribe ware and other types of pottery, and aimed to protect the cultural assets of the temple and expand child welfare facilities run by the temple, which led to him gaining the support of the head of the Urasenke school and fellow enthusiasts.
