Imported Korean tea bowls such as this one became extremely popular among tea masters in the 1500s. They were admired for their natural, hand-crafted appearance, which contrasted with the refinement of many Chinese ceramics. This example was a prized possession of the samurai lord and tea master Oda Nagamasa (1587–1670).
