First, please take a look at the profile. This is a tsubo-gama (cylindrical kettle) for a furo (portable brazier). The artist is Kazan Yokokura, a judge for the Nitten (Japan Fine Arts Exhibition). It is an ubakuchi-gama (kettle with a flat mouth) with a flat rim around the mouth, and the surface of the kettle has an itome (thread-like) pattern. The ubakuchi-gama is easy to use with a hishaku (ladle), making it a convenient shape for tea practice. The kan-tsuke (handles) are in the shape of bamboo. It is a neat tsubo-gama, and the color of the kettle's surface is better compared to those used for practice. The dimensions are: approximately 18.3 cm in width including the kan-tsuke, approximately 17.3 cm in length, approximately 21 cm in height including the knob when the lid is closed, and approximately 11 cm in diameter. The included accessory is a kyobako (wooden box). Although there is some discoloration on the kyobako due to aging, the tsubo-gama itself is in a beautiful condition without any noticeable scratches or stains. Judging from the condition of the rust prevention inside and the bottom of the kettle, I believe it is unused, but I have listed it as "near new." As it is a work by a Nitten judge, it can be used from everyday practice to special occasions such as monthly tea gatherings or training sessions.
