Informal information:
A larger, classic nanban from Ryugaku Marutsune. The clay is typical of Tokoname, the fabric patterning is very traditional.
Perfect for a tall conifer, particularly informal or literati style. One nice touch is the wire down points inside the bowl. I'm not sure how strong these are, but I expect the answer is strong enough! A great value pot too.
Condition: used, excellent.
Ryugaku Marutsune, real name Takashi Matsumoto, but run as a small business with his wife. Production had stopped by 2005. Clay used was Tokoname from near Bizen, for a rustic flavour. Nanban was a speciality and very popular.
