[Tea utensils/tea ceremony tools/shelves] Dare-ga-sode-dana (a shelf) - a copy of Tantansai's favorite, made by Nakamura Muneyoshi, assembled, for hearth, protective sheet included

●What is a Tagasode dana? It is a small shelf with three lacquered pillars, a rounded off right front edge of the top, and vine designs painted in black lacquer on the sides of the three pillars. It is a small shelf with a rectangular base.
This shelf was favored by the 14th head of the Urasenke school, Mugensai Sekoso Soshitsu, who was known by his Buddhist name Tantansai.
The original is made from old wood from Horyuji Temple, with the front retaining the character of the old wood while the back and edges are finished with urushi lacquer.
It got its name from the fact that the shape of the tabletop resembles a kimono sleeve.
*Used in furnaces.
