About the Item

This is a ceramic jar made in Japan. It was made in the 17th Century and is a valuable piece that conveys the lifestyle and aesthetic sense of the time. Shigaraki ware is one of the six oldest kilns in Japan, and among these, shigaraki is the most powerful, and the work of the period in which the simple beauty of the clay can be felt. Firing in a wood-fired kiln produced a natural glaze and a beautiful glassy luster on the surface. In addition, the reddish-brown coloring, known as fire color (scarlet), tells of a dialogue between the clay and the flame. Unintentional distortions and fluctuations also remain as a charm of the handiwork of the time. The shape is simple and powerful, and its practicality as a tool and the aesthetic sense of “wabi-sabi” cherished by the Japanese people can be felt. It is not suitable for holding water. If you wish to use it as a vase, please use a separate container inside. However, there are no cracks or chips, and the overall condition is very good. Opening diameter: about 165mm Weight: 13kg _________________________________________________ Our Philosophy Objects always tell the truth. All I can do is just to face with them sincerely and give them deep affection as much as I can. There is no boundary of nationalities and of eras in beauty. But I think now is the time we choose 'Japanese style' and it will be the best way to remind us of what we are losing today and to question us about an essence of beauty again. I hope that you can touch the memories which the objects here have, feel and think of something invisible but exists undoubtedly.
