[Old Tenmyo Hiragumo]
A famous vessel that Lord Oda Nobunaga strongly desired but could not obtain.
The legendary famous tea utensil, "Old Tenmyo Hiragumo Tea Kettle," once owned by the Sengoku period's formidable warlord, Lord Matsunaga Hisahide, is now in your hands!
A simple explanation of Old Tenmyo Hiragumo for those unfamiliar with the Sengoku period:
* The Tenmyo kettle was made in the Tōgoku region (around present-day Sano City) during the Shōchō era (1428-1555) to the Tenbun era (1532-1555).
* The name "Hiragumo" (flat spider) is said to have been given because, compared to common tea kettles, its shape was low and flat, resembling a spider crawling.
* It is one of the famous vessels owned by Matsunaga Hisahide. Although repeatedly requested by Oda Nobunaga, he refused to give it up. On the other hand, Matsunaga Hisahide presented the Kujūku Nasu to Oda Nobunaga when he submitted to him.
* There is a legend that on October 10, 1577, when Matsunaga Hisahide was attacked by Oda Nobunaga and committed suicide at Shigisan Castle in Yamato Province, he rigged the Hiragumo tea kettle with explosives and died in the blast.
