This is a kogo (lidded container) featuring a chrysanthemum and arabesque pattern, where the deep indigo blue of the underglaze painting stands out against the white porcelain. The traditional chrysanthemum flowers and the arabesque pattern, symbolizing vitality, are meticulously depicted all over. Its small size that fits comfortably in the hand and its soft hexagonal form with rounded corners give a very elegant impression. It is a versatile size that can be used not only for tea ceremony practice but also in modern daily life.
