Thank you for viewing. I am listing items that I have stored in my warehouse or purchased at antique fairs. AI-generated descriptions are used. Please use the images to judge authenticity for yourself as a reference. 1. This wooden box is a masterpiece with special value as a tea ceremony utensil. The surface of the box is inscribed with "Chagama" (tea kettle) in beautiful Japanese calligraphy, which is by Keiten Takahashi, a master of tea ceremony utensils recognized as a Living National Treasure. This box is designed as a storage box for tea utensils and is made in a way that respects the traditions of the tea ceremony. Because it is inscribed with the mark of Keiten Takahashi, this box is not just a storage tool, but is also valued as an art piece that embodies the spirit of the tea ceremony. This box, which combines the warmth of wood and the beauty of calligraphy, will be an essential item for those who love the tea ceremony. Pottery from the old days may have distortions, manufacturing flaws (kiln marks), and underfired areas (cracks). These are inherent characteristics, so they are not specifically mentioned in the product description. Please check the condition of the product carefully in the images before purchasing. None in particular. Please forgive any oversight of scratches as I am an amateur inspector. However, I try my best to be thorough. Some items may be sold with stains still on them. In addition, items are listed after only a simple cleaning. Therefore, the price is set lower. If you have any other questions, please contact me in the comments. I may miss some responses due to the large number of items listed, but if so, please comment again. NKK01334 Thank you for viewing.
