About the Item

We would like to introduce you to some fascinating pots excavated in Japan. This is a pot fired in an ancient Japanese kiln called Tokoname ware. Tokoname is a kiln located in Aichi prefecture, Japan.(Tokoname Kiln is marked with a red circle on the map.) It is said to have originated around the 12th century. Also, in Japan, there are 6 kilns with a long history that are still going on. It is one of them. This is a vase that was fired around the 13th century. It is from an era called the "Kamakura period." Many of the items from before this era were sharply made and had a beautiful overall balance. This vase also has a beautiful silhouette as the diameter decreases from top to bottom. Because it was an excavated item, broken pieces of pottery were glued together and restored. There is a hole at the bottom that was filled in. It is a baked pottery, and the straw ash in the kiln falls on it and melts to create a natural glaze. There is also a mark drawn by a comb on the shoulder. This is the identifying mark of this era. I have attached a similar reference image, so please check it out. This is a very attractive vase with a wabi-sabi feel. Kamakura period vases are difficult to obtain even in Japan, so why not take this opportunity to display one in your living room? Also, I want many people to know the goodness of antiques, so I set the price reasonably. Weight: 8.3kg We mainly sell old Japanese items. We've seen tens of thousands of items so far. Taking advantage of that experience, we are posting attractive items here. We are able to do this because we have a long experience. We introduce simple objects, tools used by common people, and objects used in temples that are different from the image of Japan that we have known up until now. We are rediscovering Japanese beauty that is unknown to the world, evaluating it, and disseminating it.
