Japanese Antique 13th Century Small Pottery Vase / Wabi Sabi Flower Vase
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
Since ancient times, people have created necessary tools from familiar materials, passed them on, and nurtured a lifestyle culture in order to survive in the severe struggle against nature. Over a long period of time, the tools accumulate a certain flavor and reflect the way of life. The harsher the natural environment and the weaker the human being, the stronger the power of the tool. In today's world, where cheap and disposable products are encouraged, the act of repeatedly modifying and re-creating the things around us opens up a new world. With this philosophy in mind, we collect beautiful, powerful, unique, and carefully selected Japanese antiques. This is a very old ceramic vase...
