*''Japanese'': 新田 ''(Nitta)''
''Nitta'' is a ceramic tea caddy (''chaire'') made in [[Southern Song Dynasty]] China, and later owned by [[Murata Shuko|Murata Shukô]], [[Miyoshi Masanaga]], [[Oda Nobunaga]], [[Otomo Sorin|Ôtomo Sôrin]], [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]], and [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]].
The object is 8.6cm tall, and 7.9cm in diameter at its widest point. The top four-fifths of the vessel is covered in an iron-brown glaze which drips down on one side.
[[Luis Frois]] records how Sôrin treasured the object, and parted with it only when under great political and economic pressure to do so. He sold it to Toyotomi Hideyoshi for 15,000 crowns<ref>According to Frois. It is unclear how much this was in Japanese denominations.</ref>. Tokugawa Ieyasu acquired ''Nitta'' after recovering it from [[Osaka Campaign|Osaka castle]], and having it repaired with lacquer. The object remains extant today.
