Tea Kettle ("Shinnari Gama") with Five Horses and Distant Mountains 

Exhibition information
There are currently no plans to exhibit this artwork at the TNM Collection Exhibitions.

Tea kettles are made in different standardized shapes, with this shape, called [shinnari] ("true form"), being the most standard. Surface decoration also varies, with this kettle depicting grazing and galloping horses. They are full of movement; their outlines suggest the dynamic brushwork found in ink paintings of the same period.
