Shaped object

Japanese: 型物 - かたもの

〘noun〙① Pottery made from a mold . Also, incense containers, water jars, tea utensils, shelves, desks, furniture, etc. can have a certain style even if they are not made from molds. ※Shunjo Essays (1926)〈Ichishima Shunjo〉 Hobby Talks "Excessive or insufficient length, size, and other things can easily ruin the overall design of an object. What is called a katamono (object with a shape) is something that is carefully determined by the standards of a tea master." ② Kabuki Kyogen, in which the direction and acting are fixed. ※Bosetsurin (1928)〈Kobayashi Takiji〉 6 "He was a man who used to be a traveling actor, and when he got drunk he would imitate old katamono, so everyone knew him." ③ Jidai Kyogen, a form of historical kyogen that was adopted into Kabuki from Bunraku puppet theater.
