About the Item

From Tohoku area, Japan. This Tsubo, pottery Jar is a product of late Edo to Meiji era (estimate 1860s-1910) estimate from the style & condition. The surface is reinforced & coated with reused Washi (traditional Japanese paper), aimed to give extra sturdiness to the pot. The unique wabi sabi texture is coming from the layers of reused Washi , the papers were flipped when layered & glued repeatedly for years. so the text on papers became sort of abstract patterns. The size is ideal for using as a vase or pot cover, but I haven't checked the water leaking of this piece, to keep the paper coat in better condition. I recommend to put smaller water container inside when using as a vase, with care. *** Dear customer - feel free to inquire me for the shipping fee quote.
