An elegant and rare Japanese hoso-mizusashi (slender water jar) with refined Mashima decoration, crafted by Yohei Nakamura during the Shōwa period.
Dimensions: height 21 cm, diameter 12 cm.
The tall, narrow form gives the piece a quiet elegance, while the subtle red and white floral and geometric patterns highlight the sophistication of Japanese craftsmanship. The fine crackle glaze enhances its wabi-sabi character, celebrating the beauty of age and imperfection.
Traditionally, this type of mizusashi was used in the tea ceremony, specifically for Nakaoki-temae, when the water jar is placed closer to the hearth during the autumn season.
The original wooden tomobako bears the signed calligraphy and seal of Yohei Nakamura, confirming the authenticity of this work. This piece has an attribution mark,
