Tokoname Large Jar, Muromachi Period

This is a large Tokoname ware jar, acquired approximately 30 years ago. Its dimensions are approximately 48 cm in height, with a circumference of about 155 cm, a mouth diameter of about 27 cm, and a weight of approximately 26 kg. Due to its inconvenience for casual transport, it is presumed to have been primarily used for storage or water retention. The fired hidasuki patterns are both striking and elegant, with taut shoulders and the "attachments" at the base, all showcasing the rustic style of Tokoname.
