Jar for Tea Leaves with the Moon and Plum Blossoms
- Exhibition information
- There are currently no plans to exhibit this artwork at the TNM Collection Exhibitions.
This jar was used to store tea leaves for use during tea gatherings. It features a silver moon, tarnished over the centuries, illuminating a blooming plum tree enveloped in golden mist. With gorgeous designs like this, the studio of Ninsei introduced an unprecedented level of decorative brilliance to Kyoto pottery in the mid-1600s.
