Kamachi ware were ceramics from the Yanagawa domain, which produced excellent tea utensils in its official kiln.
This unglazed wind furnace is in the chamfered doan-buro style and is supported with three feet. The white patchy pattern shown along the mouth and fire window is a feature of the Kamachi ware. It has two attachments: a trivet and a white mae-kawarake (a piece of earthen ware for stopping sparks from shooting out). Under the fire window, it reads: “九州土器之司” (the master of earthen ware in Kyushu) and “方悦” (Hoetsu).
