This warlord offered Tahei a drink, which he first refused, until it became a bet. If he could drink a large amount of sake (rumored at 3 liters) from the bowl he is carrying, he could have asked for anything in his host’s possession. Tahei emptied the bowl and asked for the spear he is holding. This spear was one of three such fabled weapons made by master armorers of that day. It is on display in the Fukoaka Museum. A statue of Tahei is located in front of the same museum. The artisan studio that made this figure is The Hakata Doll Association, one of only seven such studios during the modern heyday (1950-55). It is a low-fired ceramic with a bisque finish, and handmade by a single artisan. In 1955, Japan started mass producing Hakata Dolls for export.
