[Tea utensils/tea ceremony tools Matcha tea bowl] Shino ware, copy of the name "Unohanagaki" by Genhiko Tanaka (Kikusen Kiln) (Unohanagaki, Unohanagaki)

●Shino tea bowl Mei Ubanabe is a tea bowl made in Japan and designated as a national treasure.
It was fired at the Muta-do kiln in Mino, and its distorted shape, unrestrained shavings, and underglaze iron painting are in keeping with Oribe's tastes. It was originally owned by the Fuyuki family in Edo, and in the mid-1880s it was transferred to the ownership of Takayasu of the Mitsui family of Muromachi.
This tea bowl is a copy of that one.
