Inheriting a 400-year-old tradition

Bizen Hidasuki Hitoeguchi Mizusashi
Size(cm) W14.7 H15.4 (When measured with the lid on 18.2cm)

Momoyama period to early Edo period

There are many different types of Ko-Bizen ware, ranging in era and style. The properties of ware vary greatly depending on its use, such as everyday items or tea ceremony utensils. Tea ceremony utensils also have established forms and styles. The piece we would like to introduce this time is a Hitoeguchi Mizusashi . A “Hitoeguchi” refers to a mouth that is straight, not one that curves inward or outward. This is the most typical shape of a mizusashi. As you can see from the position of the knob on the lid, the mizusashi is fired so that customers can get a good view.
These works date from the Momoyama period to the early Edo period, and the texture of the clay is wonderful, so enthusiasts will be satisfied just by looking at them and touching them.
