Description
This is a Bizen hidaski *taikai* tea caddy by Sozan Kaneshige, renowned as the "uncrowned king." It is a tea caddy of exceptional dignity, befitting a master craftsman of his fame. Based on the gentle yet magnificent Momoyama-style *hidaski* that Sozan painstakingly perfected, it features a superb form that is powerful and stoutly balanced without appearing heavy, showcasing a brilliant elegance. Despite its presence, it feels light as a feather when held, with the master's technique fully realized in the palm of one's hand.
Original box (with *shōhō-san* lid)
Diameter 10.1 cm × Diameter 10.1 cm × Height 6.4 cm
