Ryokei Onishi was a monk of the Hokuso sect and served as the abbot of Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto. In his later years, he was also famous for holding the record for longevity in Japan. Kanpo Yoshikawa (1894-1979) was a Japanese painter from Kyoto who was active from the Taisho to the Showa periods. Toh-an II, Chikayoshi Tsuchibuchi, made pottery. A high-class matcha tea bowl! A poem is carved into the tea bowl using the kugi-bori technique: "Clouds dispelling, young bamboo" composed by Ryokei Onishi, who was 97 years old. The master Japanese painter Kanpo Yoshikawa did the kugi-bori carving, and Toh-an Tsuchibuchi made the pottery! Unused item!
