Please note, this item is a unique piece.
Kyo-yaki matcha bowl with "Kukurizaru" (tied monkeys) pattern made by Kôun Miyagawa (1938-) at the Ryukoku kiln in Kyoto.
The "kukurizaru" represents the image of a monkey trapped with its arms and legs tied around it.
The running monkey is compared to human "desire," while the image of a tied and motionless monkey signifies the suppression of desire. By writing a wish on this "Kukurizaru" and hanging it up, it is said that "by restraining a desire, a wish will be fulfilled."
