A Token of Health and Harmony.

This exquisite teapot stand is masterfully adorned with six hyotan (gourds), a revered traditional symbol of good fortune, protection, and longevity. In Japanese culture, six gourds represent mu-byo—a meaningful wordplay symbolizing "freedom from illness"—embodying a heartfelt prayer for health and well-being in the home.

Enhanced by an intricate background carving (jimon-bori), a technique requiring exceptionally advanced mastery in Murakami craftsmanship, this piece serves as both a refined rest for your teapot and a small work of art imbued with rich cultural depth.
