"Tea Things," Totoya Hokkei, 19th Century.
Hokkei (1780-1850) was Hokusai's greatest student and a popular printmaker of the Edo period. His forte was surimono, or elaborate woodblock prints. His prints were in demand among Edo's cultured and affluent crowd, with many prints being commissioned specially.
Hokkei was also a prolific illustrator, with his prints showing up in books of the period.
It's a chilly, rainy night here...I could use some tea!
