Tea Bowl, Named "Uraku Ido" 

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

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).
