Description from the seller

A finely crafted Japanese kōgō (incense box) by the ceramic artist Kitamura Takashi (北村 隆, 1946–), known for his work in tea ceremony utensils.
Made in high-fire stoneware with a natural ash glaze in soft green and white tones. The piece has a sculptural, fan-like form with carved detailing.

The glaze shows the characteristic flowing texture Kitamura is known for. The underside bears the impressed artist’s seal, matching the seal on the accompanying documents.

The kōgō comes complete with its original signed tomobako (wooden storage box) and paper with the artist’s biography and seal, confirming authenticity and studio origin.
Suitable for tea ceremony use (sadō) or as a collectible studio pottery object.
