Rare 17/18c Red Raku Kyogen Tsutsu Chawan (cylinder bowl) with old golden repair.
No mark. The writing on old wooden box says 'Aka Raku Tsutsu Chawan Ichi' which can be attributed to Ichigen or Ichinyu.
According to Raku museum, the pattern with white circles was popular at that time which refers to a design applied on Hakama trousers used for Kyogen, a form of traditional Japanese comic theater.
Very similar chawan made by Ichigen I (1662-1722) can be seen in Raku museum:

The chawan with similar design was made by Raku IX Ryonyu (1756-1834) and was exhibited in Tessai museum in Hyogo:
