This kutani ware vessel came to Sawada's collection through mutual friend and fellow ceramic lover Daniel Forbes who reluctantly traded it to Sawada. "He agreed to sell it, but I had to promise that whatever happens to me, this piece will go back to Daniel." Sawada's promise is handwritten and stored inside the piece for safekeeping.
