Description
Tokoname, located on Ise Bay in present-day Aichi prefecture on Japan’s main island, Honshu, was the largest center of ceramic production in medieval Japan. It had been an active center of ceramic production since the Heian period (794–1185). Wide-mouthed jars like this one are called kame, and were favored for use in tea practice.
