[Tea utensils/tea ceremony tools, ro kettle (ro kettle)] Shioya kettle, made by Hannya Kankei, with kettle ring

●What is a Shioya kettle?...It is one of the shapes of tea ceremony kettles, an Otogozen-style kettle with a ring modeled after Shioya.
It refers to a simple salt-grilling hut built on the seashore that has a salt kiln where seawater is boiled to make salt.
It is a Senso-style pottery with a background pattern of Seigaiha and shells, and the Shioya-style hook is hollow and connects to the kettle. When water boils, steam comes out from a small hole in the eaves, likening it to the smoke from the salt maker where seawater is boiled to make salt.
