A classic specialist book by Iwao Ikeda, a Japanese researcher of the art of tea. Centring on lacquer incense containers (kogo) in the tea ceremony, it explores in depth how traditional Japanese lacquer art is fused into the profound aesthetics of tea etiquette, and it is praised as a valuable guide for tea practitioners and collectors. A veteran expert on tea utensils, Ikeda has long worked on documenting and passing on traditional crafts, and this book gathers the fruits of his many years of research. It classifies kogo into karamono (lacquerware imported from China), wamono (lacquerware made in Japan) and konomimono (pieces chosen to a tea master's taste), and through carefully selected masterpieces reveals the changes in lacquer art from the Song and Yuan periods to the Edo period and the distinctiveness of its craftsmen.
