Did You Know?

This is a yuzamashi, a container used to cool boiled water to just the right temperature for the best flavor when steeping.

Description

The kidney-shaped water cooler, yuzamashi, has a scene of a man gazing at a full moon in a dramatic mountain-scape stretching before a large compound in the woods. Another man, hunched over and carrying a heavy parcel tied to a pole over his shoulder, struggles to make his way up a hill to the site. The cooler also has a pair of applied nyoi staff-head forms for resting the tips of one’s thumb and index finger.
