茶入筆記 vol.52 江戶東京博物館：唐物常陸帶茶入（小肩衝） - Edo-Tokyo Museum: Karamono Katasuiki Chaire ‘Hitachi-obi’, Possibly Ko-Katastuki

本器為一件室町時代的唐物茶入，銘為「常陸帶」，名從日本茨城縣常陸國鹿島神宮祭典所用之腰帶而來，乃象徵連綿二道釉流之意，屬於「連なだれ」樣式之典型。器形端莊，侈口短頸，小肩衝式，腰部可見兩道斜垂釉痕，為唐物中極具特色之一類。據傳於水戶藩之御道具中亦有此樣，為古來茶人所珍賞之器型。

參考大正名器鑑中的另一間「常陸帶」唐物肩衝茶入，曾為豐臣秀吉所持，德川家康駿府傳來：

This chaire (tea caddy) dates from the 16th century Muromachi period and is classified as a karamono (Chinese-origin) ware. It bears the name Hitachi-obi ("Hitachi Belt"), a term that alludes to the ceremonial sash used during the Kashima Shrine festival in Hitachi Province (modern-day Ibaraki Prefecture). The appellation refers to the characteristic dual stream of glaze—referred to as ren-nadare (連なだれ)—resembling the trailing folds of a traditional sash.

This vessel, likely of the ko-katatsuki (small-shouldered) type, features a flared mouth, short neck, and a gracefully rounded shoulder. Twin glaze runs cascade down its waist, marking it as a distinguished example within the karamono category. Similar forms are recorded among the official utensils of the Mito Domain, and such pieces have long been esteemed by generations of tea practitioners.
