Takaoka Copperware: Kensui (Tea Ceremony Water Container) – Yari no Saya (Spear Sheath) – Karakane
We are pleased to introduce this Kensui made of Takaoka copperware.
Kensui is a vessel used in the tea ceremony to discard water used to cleanse the tea bowl.
The term “ken” means to tilt and spill, and it is commonly referred to as “koboshi.”
Karakane is an alloy of copper mixed with small amounts of lead and tin, giving it a dark hue.
Its manufacturing method originally came from China, which is why it is called “karakane,” meaning copper that was transmitted from the Tang Dynasty.
This Kensui is named for its resemblance to a sheath that covers the tip of a spear and is one of seven types of Kensui.
It has a cylindrical shape with a flared opening, and the lid is removed by inserting a ladle handle through it.
The upper part of the exterior is slightly thinner, while the lower part is darker, creating a gradient effect.
Dimensions: Diameter 10 cm, Height 13.5 cm.
高冈铜器 建水 枪的鞘（やりのさや） 唐铜
这是介绍高冈铜器制作的建水。
建水是茶道中用来倾倒清洗抹茶碗时用水的器具。
“建”有倾斜、溢出的意思，通常也称为“溢水”。
唐铜是铜与少量铅或锡等合金的材料，呈现出黑色的光泽。
这种工艺最初是从中国传入的，因此被称为“唐”铜。
这个建水因形似枪尖的鞘而得名，是七种建水之一。
它是圆筒形，口部较窄，因此盖子是通过把柄杓的柄穿过而拿出的。
外部上部稍薄，下部则渐变为浓色，形成了色彩的变化。
口径：10厘米，高度：13.5厘米。
