Mishima is a city in Shizuoka Prefecture that boasts splendid views of Mount Fuji and is known chiefly as a gateway to Hakone and the Izu Peninsula.
Mishima Oke has five rows of inlaid designs -- three are floral, one is slanted lines and the upper is wavy lines.
Mishima Oke radiates a feeling of warmth, controlled casualness and timeless beauty, as does its equally famous -- if quieter -- cousin, the meibutsu Ni-toku Mishima chawan, which also was in Rikyu's collection.
