He was highly renowned for his exceptional skill in crafting \"Kawari-gata\" (custom\/uniquely shaped) ink pots.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen I purchased this sumitsubo, the carpenter also had another ink pot by the famous 3rd-generation Tokyo master, Tsubotoyo. However, my intuition told me that the shaping and carving of the 3rd-generation Tsubotoyo's work could no longer compare to that of the 1st or 2nd generation. In contrast, this particular sumitsubo felt like a true masterpiece to me. Crafted from excellent quality Japanese zelkova (Keyaki) wood, it boasts a beautiful form and exquisite, detailed carving.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TENMOKU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48297234202862,"sku":null,"price":40000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/0162\/5326\/files\/sumitsubo.1_7c6e4120-3974-4d99-9ea8-c0a6f76c0292.jpg?v=1783816796","url":"https:\/\/tenmoku0701.myshopify.com\/products\/sumitsubo-japanese-hand-made-wooden-inkpot-by-takahashi-junichi-270mm","provider":"TENMOKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
