Jo-un Kiln "Karakane Kai-gu" (with Tomobako box)

The okugata is favored by Rikyu, so it can be used regardless of your tea ceremony school. The mizusashi features a traditional demon mask and decorative rings. The items are listed in the order of mizusashi, shakutate, kensui, and futaoki. While each item shows some signs of use, they are all in beautiful condition and good overall. There are some scuffs on the base. Please check the condition of each item in the bottom photos (⑧⑪⑭⑰). The accompanying box has a stamp on the lid that reads 唐銅皆具 祥雲作 (Karakanai-gu Sho-un Saku). The artist's details are unknown, but it is presumed to be a renowned craftsman from the Showa period, given the high-quality materials used, as well as the excellent craftsmanship and material of the box. *This is not made from modern Western materials.
It is watertight and ready for immediate use.

With original box.
