Type...Pottery...Tea Bowl...Matcha Bowl　Kiln...Tsuboya-yaki This is a two-fish Makai (Tsuboya-yaki tea bowl) with fish carvings by Jiro Kinjo, the first Living National Treasure of Okinawa. I believe this is a high-level work from his prime, with excellent fish carvings. The firing is bright and crisp, and the brushstrokes on the outside are exquisite. The glaze is glossy, as if it had just come out of the kiln. This is a wonderful item to hold, and I think it will make your tea ceremony enjoyable. The inscription on the wooden box is undoubtedly in Jiro Kinjo's own handwriting. There is a sticker that appears to be from a solo exhibition sale, which reads "Living National Treasure Jiro Kinjo Makai ¥150,000" (image 4). Size: Height approx. 6.7 cm, Maximum width approx. 15.7 cm. Please allow for some error. I think this price is cheap, including shipping! First come, first served! There are no traces of use, so I have judged it to be unused. It doesn't seem to have been used as a display item either. There are stains on the box (see image). The price is set at the lowest possible level. I cannot accept price negotiations, so please be satisfied with the images and purchase immediately. Thank you very much. *If you request a bulk purchase, we will definitely discount the shipping cost.*
