Marui Seito Shigaraki Ware Hechimon Flower Vase, Large, Vertical, Brown, Smoked Comb Pattern, Buddhist Altar, Ceramic, MR-1-2576

Country of Origin: Japan Shigaraki ware is pottery made in Shigaraki Town, Koka City, Shiga Prefecture. Counted one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns, it boasts a rich history spanning more than 1,200 years. The name "hechimon" comes from a Shigaraki artisan's term meaning "unusual objects." These vessels, like the various shapes created by nature and the individual personalities of each of us, possess a variety of expressions. They are filled with the care and playfulness of masters who cherish "inhomogeneity." The simple, modern cylindrical shape features a traditional "seigaiha" (wave pattern) engraved with a comb carving. A thin layer of glaze is applied to highlight the texture and design. Individual pieces may vary in size, color, and glaze application from those shown in the photograph. Please enjoy the unique flavor of pottery.
