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

Iron tea kettles produced in the Ashiya area of northern Kyushu were coveted goods, achieving brand-name status as Ashiya Kettles. This example was made in the most basic shape, known as [shinnari] ("true form"). Its surface features a traditional design of elegantly curved pines along a windswept seashore.
