This is a fine example of Kosugi-yaki, a traditional craft from Toyama Prefecture. Kosugi-yaki began in 1816 when Takahata Yozaemon established his kiln. Yozaemon traveled to various kilns across Japan, including Soma, Seto, Mino, and Kyoto, where he honed his skills. He then returned to his hometown of Miwayama, where he produced a wide range of ceramics.

This particular item highlights the beauty of Kosugi-yaki's celadon, highly regarded as "Kosugi ceradon". The exquisite bluish-green glaze on this hyosoku (hand-held lamp) makes it suitable not only for use in evning tea ceremonies, but also as a decorative interior piece.

Kosugi-yaki was born from techniques and aesthetics passed down through generations. However, the kiln was closed in 1908, and today, Kosugi-yaki is a very rare form of ceramic ware. This precious hand-held lamp reflects the traditional Japanese sense of beauty, making it a special piece for tea ceremony enthusiasts and those who appreciate Japanese culture.

Act quickly, as rare pieces like this Kosugi-yaki seldom appear on the market, and their value is sure to increase over time. Own a piece of history and tradition by acquiring this exceptional item.
