Meibutsuki (名物記, lit.'Records of famous objects'), are records of Tea Ceremony utensils. Many were compiled by the Matsudaira family. The most famous was compiled by Matsudaira Morimura,[1] but others, such as the Sansatsu Meibutsuki created by Matsudaira Sakonshogen also exist.[2] They describe the lineage and history of various tea vessels, classifying them by either age or ownership.[3]
