During the turbulent Azuchi-Momoyama period (late 16th century), master potters fleeing war found sanctuary here. Supported by powerful warlords like Oda Nobunaga and visionary tea masters, they abandoned perfect symmetry to embrace the dramatic, irregular beauty of nature. To hold this vessel is to touch a 400-year-old story of political intrigue, artistic rebellion, and the relentless pursuit of the perfect tea ceremony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"COTOWAKU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49305006342337,"sku":"T51-06-001","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/9702\/9057\/files\/DSC_5593.jpg?v=1748593586"}],"url":"https:\/\/cotowaku.com\/collections\/beer-shochu-cups.oembed","provider":"COTOWAKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
