Includes a signed box, cloth, and a bookmark. The name of the Koyamazu Kiln is known only to some researchers and tea masters, but the products of the "Koyamazu Kiln," which maintains the style of the O-niwa-yaki (garden kiln) of the Takeo domain, convey the most refined tea pottery kiln's elegance among the many old Karatsu wares. However, the "Koyamazu Kiln" was closed around the mid-Edo period, and its true value was popularized around 1956 by executives of the Japan Ceramic Society and local researchers. Katsumi Eguchi revived it. ・Saga Prefecture Important Intangible Cultural Property ・Japan Traditional Art Crafts Exhibition Audit Committee Member ・Saga Prefecture Ceramic Art Association Director ・Saga Art Association Advisor ・Nitten Artist (5 times selected for flower vases) #Kitty's Antiques, Ceramics, and Tableware #Vase #Flower vase #Flower base #Ornament #Japanese-style room #Antique
