Did You Know?

Tsujimura Shirō has seven kilns in the hills outside the city of Nara.

Description

The surface of Tsujimura Shirō’s jar features a rough texture from grains of feldspar in the clay as well as designs created by wood ash during firing, with an aesthetic result that is in keeping with the Japanese tradition of subdued rusticity known as wabi-sabi.
Spherical stoneware jar with an opening at the top flaring out into the lip of the jar. A rough texture covers the jar, colored light brown on our left and a lighter brown in a circle outlined on the lower left. To our right light green streaks into medium-grey. Texturing spots show through the glaze as white. A slight impression, as if made by a band, runs horizontally around the jar.
