I am thrilled to see the project is continuing to grow. I get approximately 30 hits per day on WLA images from all over the world.

Apart from adding a lot of photos for use on Wikipedia and by the Museums, I found there were a lot of areas in the Museums (and a lot of objects too) which I had either forgotten or maybe never previously discovered.- DJ-Architect

There is not currently an article on Ikeda Taishin on the English-language or Japanese Wikipedias, but I would nevertheless like to copy this photo over to the Wikimedia Commons so that it'll be easily findable and usable once such an article is created.

Beautiful caddy and great photo. I've really enjoyed your excellent pictures from the V&A. Thanks for licensing your work under CC. This has been used to illustrate an answer about tea caddies.

Thank you for uploading this. Isn't it an amazing item? I saw a picture of it in the book 'Shells' by Mary Maguire and from the picture credits I could see it had to be in the V&A. I want to visit it and see it close-up. - lottery_dreams
