[Tea utensils/tea ceremony tools, ro kettle (ro kettle)] Arareo-tare kettle, feather drop, copy of Oubai-in, made by Hannya Kankei, with kettle ring

●Odare gama: A type of tea kettle with an irregular wavy shape at the bottom, with notches and drooping edges.
When the bottom of an old pot, such as that of an Old Ashiya or Old Tenmei pot, became corroded and damaged, that part was chipped off and replaced with a new, slightly smaller bottom. The chipped part was left uneven, and this is the shape that was created from that, and later the tail shape was created from scratch.
●What is arare (grain)? It is a decorative technique for the surface of a tea kettle, in which small granular protrusions are made to stand out on the surface.
Arare is made by pushing each grain into the finished mold with a spatula with a rounded tip. These grains are called arare, and the act of pushing the grains is called hitting the arare.
It is also called "ararehada."
There are various types of hail, ranging from small grains to large grains, such as ko-arare (small hail), o-arare (large hail), and oni-arare (very large hail).
It may be applied to the entire kettle or to just a few parts such as the shoulders and waist. There are also some where patterns are placed inside the arare through windows carved into the arare, or where patterns are scattered on top of the arare pattern.
In the Ashiya kettle, the grains are small and have rounded, gentle tips, and many of them are covered in hail, and those that are only partially covered are said to be from a later period.
