Size: w7.1cm x d4.1cm x h4cm
Condition: Good

明治維新後の横浜で真葛釜を開窯、「高浮彫」とういう今までにはなかった超絶技巧で世界を驚愕させた人物です。その作品は、海外で高く評価されエミール・ガレの工房やロイヤル・コペンハーゲンにも影響を与えたと言われています。
真葛焼は2代、3代と引き継がれましたが、昭和20年（1945）横浜大空襲で、工房が壊滅的な被害を受け、同時に3代目の命も奪われ真葛焼は消滅してしまいました。そのため、作品も少なく「幻のやきもの」と呼ばれています。

It is the incense case of the first Miyagawa Kazan.

He opened the Makuzu kiln in Yokohama after the Meiji Restoration, and astounded the world with the transcendent technique of "high relief" that had never existed before. His work is said to have been highly evaluated overseas and had an impact on Emile Galle's workshop and Royal Copenhagen.
Makuzu ware was passed down to the 2nd and 3rd generations, but in 1945, the Yokohama bombing raid devastated the workshop, and at the same time, the life of the 3rd generation was taken, and the maguzu ware disappeared. For this reason, his works are few in number, and are called "phantom pottery."

Kogo is a small container with a lid that holds incense. A kind of tea ceremony utensils.
