Antique Shigaraki Jar "Uzukumaru"/Japanese Vase/14th-16th Century/Wabi-Sabi

About the Item

During the Muromachi Period (1392–1573), the concept of wabi-sabi was formed from the tea ceremony culture. Shigaraki ware was greatly influenced by the aesthetic sense of tea masters in the flow of the times. This product is a small jar called "UZUKUMARU", which was used by farmers as a pot to store seeds. The higaki pattern drawn on the body is unique to Shigaraki. It is said that it is modeled after a shimenawa rope or the bamboo fence of the barrier, but it is not known for sure. Ashes are applied from the top to the bottom during firing. Baked skin is reddish. Beautiful contrast. Flat bottom. A well-engraved Higaki pattern and a tight double mouth structure. It has many attractions and is full of strength. It's museum quality.
