You can almost imagine sitting with Sen No Rikyu and enjoying a spring tea ceremony at a Kyoto tea house in the Edo Period. This Tetsubin comes from the famed Kobe Ironworks. It has a small opening cast into the side where a turtle can be seen climbing in as if onto a rock. This is a radical advant-garde piece and is one of only a few remaining original tea tetsubins. Extremely rare. Heavy item. c.1850. (10½" x 12") (27cm x 30cm).

From Takayama in central Japan, it is home of a type of lacquer called 'shunkei'. This involves a lacquering technique in which wood is first lightly stained and then coated with a clear yellow lacquer to produce a resistant coating and draw out the grain of the wood. Shunkei-ware was associated with the tea ceremony and was highly prized for the beautiful grain and texture of the wood which was visible through the lacquer. Comes in it's own pine box. c.1920. (10" x 10") (25cm x 25cm).

This "tsugaru-nuri" lacquered flower stand is the signature of lacquer-ware from the Tsugaru district of Aomori Prefecture, in the northern part of the main island of Honshu in Japan. Layers of lacquer create a polychrome pattern, and is a style unique to this district that dates from the Edo Period. Rather than spreading the lacquer on as is the convention, Tsugaru craftsman pat the lacquer on with a spatula, thereby creating different patterns and textures. The layers of lacquer are then burnished down to produce the characteristic mottled patterning. c.1930. (19½" x 12") (49cm x 30cm)

A Beautiful Block of prized zelkova "keyaki" wood carved into a Go board. The white Go stones are made of shell while the black stones are carved out of Japanese "natchi-kuro" stone and sanded to a fine polish. Both white and black stone Go pieces come in exquisite keyaki go-ishi wood containers shining with a worn patina of the ages. The ultimate wabi-sabi mingei look. A few Edo stains on the surface but these only enhance the piece. c.1860. (16½" x 17" x 8") (42cm x 43cm x 21cm). Heavy item.
