I like this one... It's not cheap, but possibly within range...
Nice! I'm very close to buying one myself.

Is that a scroll (kakejiku)? If so, what is the picture?

I haven't any other pictures so I can't tell what is on the scroll.

The answer is in the Mitsui museum

Lacquer Tray. Originally I was going to post only this item, but I couldn't resist...


Image
Japanese Tansu Chest

Hanging scroll (obviously).


I think these all qualify as "teaware items" in some way, because One Day, when my ship comes in, you may well find me in a serene room surrounded by items like this, overlooking a Japanese Garden, quietly enjoying my Tea Image

Until now I have never much cared for chawan with Mount Fuji on them. Nor glass chawan, for that matter. And the following chawan is among the least wabi I've ever seen.

Yet... I would love to have this pup!

I would say this is his drinking cup, as it is more cylindrical, and contains no leaves.

You can see his lovely gaiwan here. I belive this may be the Phoenix gaiwan from Jing.

Cheers. I've been cheating a bit recently and had a few cups of tea in the cup part of my smallest gaiwan, it looks remarkably like the cup in the pic - it'll probably turn out to be an incense burner or something.

Obviously I liked those gaiwan before they were famous, just never got around to buying one.

More beautiful selections guys. I'm currently torn between a tea "I want" and a stunt kite "I want" but these photos are dragging me to the former.
