Water Pot for the Tea Ceremony
Ceramists from Kyoto often collaborated with painters, who added the decoration. This water pot was made by an unknown potter and then ornamented by Takeuchi Seiho, a well-known print designer and painter. The young pine branches are a New Year’s motif, so this water pot was intended for a tea ceremony at that time of the year.
