二代 村瀬治兵衛の水指を慈光店舗にて販売中です。Mizusashi by Jihei Murase II is now available at Jikoh shop.
水指は、茶道の点前で、茶釜に水を足したり、茶碗や茶筅を洗う水を蓄えておくための器ですが、今回ご紹介の水指は、割竹を縦に並べて張りつめ上下に二本の箍を
嵌めた寄竹手桶水指で、室町後期の茶人・武野紹鴎が好んだ水指と言われています。共箱の蓋には、二代目村瀬治兵衛の落款があります。
二代目村瀬治兵衛は、名古屋で江戸時代から続く木地師の家に生まれた父、初代治兵衛に遡ります。
薄挽きを得意とした初代は、美術家・北大路魯山人の指導を受けて塗師の仕事も手がけるようになり、木地師と塗師（ぬし）、両方の技を駆使する独自の作風を確立
しました。二代目村瀬治兵衛は、昭和35年（1960）頃、大徳寺の第511世住持だった立花大亀老師と出会い、大亀老師を囲む数寄者や料亭主人、政財界人との交流か
ら茶道具や懐石道具を作るようになりました。昭和51年（ 1976）二代目治兵衛を襲名しました。現在は、木地師であり塗師である治兵衛スタイルを三代目が継承して
います。

A mizusashi is a vessel used to store water for adding water to a tea kettle or washing tea bowls and tea whisks in the tea ceremony.
It is said to have been favoured by the late Muromachi period tea master Takeno Jouou. The lid of the box bears the signature of Murase Jihei II.
Murase Jihei II traces his lineage back to his father, Jihei I, who was born into a family of woodworkers in Nagoya that had been in existence since the Edo period.
Murase I specialised in thin-ground work, but under the guidance of the artist Kitaoji Rosanjin, he also began to work as a lacquer craftsman,
establishing a unique style that made full use of the skills of both woodworker and lacquer craftsman.
He established a unique style that made full use of the skills of both woodworkers and lacquerers.
Around 1960 (Showa 35), Murase Jihei II met Tachibana Daikame, the 511th abbot of Daitokuji Temple, and through his interactions with the people around him,
such as sukiya (tea masters), ryotei owners and people in the political and business world, he began to produce tea ceremony utensils and kaiseki utensils.
The company began making tea ceremony utensils and kaiseki utensils as a result of their interaction with Daikame’s friends and colleagues.
In 1976 (Showa 51), he assumed the name Jihei II. The Jihei style of woodworking and lacquering is now carried on by the third generation.
The third generation continues the Jibei style as a woodworker and a painter.
Jihei Murase II’sMizusashi is now available at the Jikoh shop. Please have a look.
