Water Jar, Named "Shiba no Iori (Grass Hut)"
- Exhibition information
- There are currently no plans to exhibit this artwork at the TNM Collection Exhibitions.
This jar was intended to hold water for refilling the kettle and rinsing tea bowls during tea gatherings. It showcases the rugged beauty of Shigaraki pottery, which comes from a mountainous region east of Kyoto. Under the intense heat of a wood-burning kiln, the surface became cracked, scorched, and partially coated by a glassy glaze.
