About the Item

A Japanese storage jar (tsubo) made in the ancient Echizen ware tradition by Fujita Jurouemon VIII. Echizen is one of the six ancient kilns in Japan, directly influenced by the Sue ware of the Heian period. Echizen ware is fired without applied glaze or decoration. Its surface is only marked with the natural ash splashes during the firing process. It is appreciated for its simple and robust form with an archaic appearance and randomly occurred surface texture. Fired at high temperature, Echizen yaki is a form of earthenware between pottery and porcelain, also called yakishime or semi-porcelain. Fujita Jurouemon VIII (1922-2008) used the most traditional kiln and assumed the family head of the eight generation in 1967. In 1975, he received Fukui Prefecture Traditional Kogei Excellent Successor Award. The tsubo jar on offer is of a robust form, hand-built from coils and random ash glaze deposit on the surface. It reveals different view from various side. The base was not cut even, resulting in a slightly tilting form from certain angel as shown. It is marked on one side with a carved cross, the insignia of the artist. It comes with a wood storage box (tomobako) with inscription in Kanji (Echizen, Tsubo, and artist's name and seal). Also a paper label card and a brochure of the artist's info and technique.
