About the Item

It is "Shigaraki ware". Shigaraki ware is a historic kiln located in Shiga Prefecture. (The Shigaraki ware kiln is circled in red in the image.) It is said to have originated in the 8th century. There are six kilns with long histories in Japan, and this is one of them. This jar was fired in the Muromachi period (1400s), which is even older than the Edo period. Shigaraki ware is characterized by its abundance of feldspar (glassy pebbles). Small grains can be seen on the surface of the jar, which are feldspar. The pebbles that look like they have broken through the jar's skin are also feldspar. The characteristics of this jar are well displayed. And the greatest attraction of this jar is the beautiful finish it has after firing. The appearance of the jar changes greatly depending on the temperature and heat of the kiln. It is impressive as it produces a gradation of various colors. It does not have the same appearance from any angle, 360 degrees. I think it is a masterpiece among Shigaraki ware jars. Another interesting point is that this jar usually has a trumpet-like tip, but it was intentionally broken like this. Old Shigaraki ware jars are often found in this state, and it is thought that the tip was broken to make it easier to use as a tool. I think this shape is also beautiful. Also, as a reference, a similar item from the same era as this item was featured in the Japanese art book "Shigaraki Ware Masterpieces Illustrated Guide," so I have attached a photo of it. Also, the side of this jar that was exposed to the strong heat has a lot of ash on it, and there are traces of natural glaze flow. The most interesting part is the cracked part. It is thought to have broken while it was being fired in the kiln. This is a product of chance. In Japanese, a jar that looks like torn paper like this is called a "Yabure Tsubo." "Yabure" = torn, "Tsubo" = jar A jar in this state is very rare. It is difficult to get one even in Japan. Also, the part circled in red is probably cracked when it was knocked over. However, it is glued together so you can use it without any problems. There is also a thin crack at the bottom, so if you put water in it, it may leak out. If you want to decorate it with flowers, fill another container with water and put it in this vase. This item was owned by a Japanese collector. Why not show it off to your friends? This vase is recommended! Weight: 6.3kg [We have a unique Japanese aesthetic sense.
