[Tea utensils/tea ceremony tools, confectionery containers] Eat basket, made on a lathe, made by Konza Kawabata (Eat basket, Eat, Jikiro)

●A kakego is a container with a lid that holds the main sweets for the number of guests.
It can be written as "shokugo" or "kugo".
A pair of Kuromoji chopsticks will be included.
Most are circular or square, and some are stackable.
Originally, it referred to a deep container with a lid for holding food. They were used as decorations on shelves in study rooms, as can be seen in the "Kimidai Kansochoki" and "Okazaki" where "food baskets" are placed on different shelves as decorations for the tatami room. However, as they became popular with tea masters, they came to be used mainly as confectionery containers for the main sweet at tea ceremonies, and various shapes appeared, and although lacquerware was initially used as the material, ceramics also began to be used.
