AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Akoda chaire 阿古陀茶入(あこだちゃいれ)

This piece is an Akoda chaire, a type of tea caddy that has been used in the Japanese tea tradition since the Muromachi period.
The name “Akoda” comes from its resemblance to the akoda gourd, a variety of pumpkin, reflected in its rounded body.
The defining feature of this form is the series of vertical ribs running along the body, creating a gourd-like surface with gentle convex and concave contours.
