A 10th generation Onishi Jyosetsu, with a signed box, is an Ubaguchi-hiragama (flat-bottomed kettle). The inscription says "Kamashi San'uemon," but this is from the period when Jyosetsu used his mother's maiden name, Okudaira, before succeeding the Onishi family. While the Koshigo family is famous for the name San'uemon, the seal is Okudaira's, and it closely resembles the Okudaira seal on the signed box of his younger brother, Ryoho. The calligraphy is also Jyosetsu's beautiful handwriting. This is a work from his younger years, with a large mouth, a rough, dynamic feel, and a lively impression. It has a skin and handle similar to his father, Jyogen. The period when he used the name San'uemon was short, and few signed boxes remain, making this piece of documentary value as a work from Jyosetsu's younger years. I filled it with water for a while, and no leaks were found. ◯ Dimensions (with some margin of error) Body diameter: Approximately 25 cm Mouth diameter: Approximately 12.5 cm Total height: Approximately 15 cm 【Onishi Jyosetsu】 10th generation Onishi Seiemon. Initially named Okudaira San'uemon, then Onishi Seiemon, and finally Jyosetsu. While creating the wabi-cha kettles unique to the Onishi family, favored by the Senke school, he also produced a variety of kettles, including Ashiya copies and technically elaborate ones. He was renowned as an appraiser with a keen eye, and many of his highly accurate appraisals remain. He also researched old kettles such as Echizen Ashiya and Ise Ashiya. ★ This item was collected and stored privately, so there are signs of aging, damage, and rust.
