Provenance
According to the original Japanese wood box, the dish was gifted from ‘Kenkou’ to the Kohou-an Temple located at the Daitokuji Temple, Kyoto, dated 20 September 1848. ‘Kenkou’ possibly refers to Tokugawa Narikatsu, also known as KenSho-in, who was a 12th generation member of the Kishu branch of the Tokugawa family
