When Charles Lang Freer acquired this tea bowl from a Japanese dealer, it was indentified as Korean. More recently some Japanese scholars have suggested that the bowl was made in Korean style at a Japanese kiln, possibly the Rakuzan kiln in Matsue city, Shimane prefecture, which specialized in Korean-style tea bowls. The bowl is housed in a wooden box with an inscription recording its receipt as a gift from the warrior-ruler of Matsue, Matsudaira Fumai (1751–1818).
