Omotesenke Kosobe-yaki Kiln Master Yoshitaka Samukawa Furidashi (Sweetmeat Container) Nanban-jin (Southern Barbarian) Annam-style Figures Bonsyōan Tea Utensil Furidashi Annan-te (Annam Hand) Figure Design This item belonged to my mother, who was a teacher of the Omotesenke school, and was kept in our home tea room. It is a furidashi (sweetmeat container) featuring Nanban-jin (Southern Barbarian) Annam-style figures, made by Yoshitaka Samukawa of the Kosobe-yaki kiln in Takatsuki. My mother, who was a member of the Omotesenke school under Master Matsumoto, likely received this as a celebration gift for her 60th birthday. I remember her using it a few times to hold bean candies and konpeito (sugar candies) during tea lessons. It has a noshi paper (decorative paper) attached that reads "Bonsyōan Matsumoto Hideki." The item is in good condition with no damage. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about minor imperfections due to home storage. Also, I am listing a rust-painted ring-shaped kakeoki (tea bowl stand) by the 17th generation of the Senke Jisshoku (Ten Master Craftsmen of the Senke family), Zen-goro Eiraku (Nijō), with a writing by Master Kissui, which I received as a celebration gift for my 70th birthday.
