This item is a Harutsai Hatake "Arareromoe-mon Shinkata Kama" (a tea ceremony kettle). The shinkata kama has a dignified, rounded shape that can be considered the basic form of a kettle, and it symbolizes the formality and stability of the tea ceremony. In this work, the surface is finely embossed with the arare (hailstone) pattern, and the tomoe-mon (comma) design is incorporated, giving it a powerful and dynamic beauty. Harutsai Hatake is known as a master of tea ceremony kettles, inheriting the techniques of a family of kama artisans while also gaining a reputation for meticulous surface creation and the beauty of casting. This work is also remarkable for the contrast between the thick cast skin and the delicate patterns, a masterpiece that perfectly blends function and beauty. The three-dimensional expression created by the arare pattern and the classical elegance brought by the tomoe-mon will stand out in the tokonoma (alcove) or tea room, deepening the sense of the season and the atmosphere of the tea ceremony. In addition to its practicality, it is also an excellent tea kettle for appreciation. ★Dimensions★ Height including lid: approx. 18cm Diameter: approx. 21cm Thank you for viewing.
