Used Tachiguchi kama (tea kettle). A work by Nakata Ryo, with a matching box. It is a shirihari-gata (round-bottomed) Tachiguchi kama, with an arare (hailstone) pattern that resembles waves. The kan (handles) are gourd-shaped, and the lid also has distinctive features in its knob and base. There is rust on the inside, but I don't think it's enough to make the rust float in the hot water. The bottom is not very rough and I think it's in good condition. The lid has some scratches. There is no major damage, but the matching box has some age-related discoloration. Please understand that this is a used item. Free shipping, we plan to ship via Mercari delivery. #Rikyu #Sotan #Sensou #Gen Gensai #Ennosai #Tantansai #Houunsai #Zabosai #Seisai #Sokuchusai #Jimyosai #Naosai #Omotesenke #Urasenke #Onishi #Eiraku #Teaceremonyutensils #Daitokuji #Kaisekidougu (dishes for a tea ceremony meal) #Kado (flower arrangement) #Vase #Pottery #Furo (tea ceremony brazier) #Antique #Tetsubin (iron kettle) #Nambu Ironware #Gold #Kenzan #Makuzu #Sakaida Kakiemon #Imaemon #Yuko #Nishijin-ori (Nishijin textiles) #Tokusai #Imari #Kutani #Nabeshima #Kyoyaki (Kyoto ware) #Kyoto #LivingNationalTreasure #Shokokuji #Ceramics #Kodo (incense ceremony utensils) #Kodo (incense ceremony) #Koro (incense burner) #Furo (tea ceremony brazier) #Shichijishiki (seven tea ceremony procedures) #Chaji (tea ceremony) #Yobanashi (evening tea ceremony) #Antique #Shinoryu (Shino school of tea ceremony) #Enshu #Fumai #Koicha (thick tea) #Usucha (thin tea) #Hamada Shoji #Inoue Manji #Kobayashi Taigen Rikyu Sotan Sensou Gen Gensai Ennosai Tantansai Houunsai Zabosai Seisai Sokuchusai Jimyosai Naosai Omotesenke Urasenke Onishi Eiraku Teaceremonyutensils Daitokuji Kaisekidougu Kado Vase Pottery Furo Antique Tetsubin Nambu Ironware Gold Kenzan Makuzu Sakaida Kakiemon Imaemon Yuko Nishijin-ori Tokusai Imari Kutani Nabeshima Kyoyaki Kyoto LivingNationalTreasure Shokokuji Ceramics Kodo Kodo Koro Furo Shichijishiki Chaji Yobanashi Antique Shinoryu Enshu Fumai Koicha Usucha Hamada Shoji Inoue Manji Kobayashi Taigen
