Please note that they are not included. Kenkichi Tomimoto was a potter who was designated as a Living National Treasure for "colored porcelain" in the first Important Intangible Cultural Property designation. In 1949, Tomimoto, who resided in Shintorimaruzucho, Kyoto, mass-produced tableware based on his long-held desire to "spread high-quality, handmade daily necessities to the families of the general public." Tomimoto created the samples, and craftsmen handled everything from the base to the painting and firing. The mark "Tomisen" was then applied to the back with underglaze painting to distinguish it from the original. It is a vividly colored square bottle, and the bottle gently tapers from top to bottom, creating a beautiful shape. The front, back, and sides are decorated with a design resembling a pattern and the dynamic characters "Fūkasetsugetsu" (wind, flowers, snow, moon)! This is a Chinese phrase that can be interpreted as "beautiful natural scenery and the emotions that arise from it," and it seems to be one of the words that Mr. Tomimoto favored. The wooden box and vase have been stored at home for a long time, so the wooden box has scratches, scuffs, stains, and traces of stickers. The vase has no noticeable large scratches or chips, but some stains can be seen. Please understand that this is only a visual inspection by an amateur, so there may be oversights. Please be aware of this beforehand. Please purchase with the understanding that this is a used item.
