Omotesenke Ko-Sobe Ware Kiln, Yoshitaka Samukawa, Furidashi (Confectionery Container), Nanban-jin (Southern Barbarian) Annam-style Figures, Bonsai-an, Tea Utensils, Furidashi Annam-te (Annam Hand) Figure Design This belonged to my mother, who was a teacher of the Omotesenke school, and was kept in our home tea room. It is a Furidashi with Nanban-jin (Southern Barbarian) Annam-style figures by Yoshitaka Samukawa of the Ko-Sobe Ware kiln in Takatsuki. My mother, who was a member of the Omotesenke school under Master Matsumoto, likely received this as a celebration of her sixtieth birthday. I remember her using it a few times during tea lessons to hold small candies and konpeito (sugar candies). It has a noshi paper label that reads "Bonsai-an, Hideki Matsumoto." There is no damage, and it is in good condition. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about its condition, as it has been stored at home. I am also listing a rust-painted ring-shaped kashiki (lid rest) by the 17th generation of the Senke Jisshoku (Ten Craftsmen of the Senke family), Zen-Goro Eiraku (Nizen), which I received from Master Yoshimizu as a celebration of my 70th birthday.
