| A tsubo (jar) is one of the most ancient forms of pottery, used since the beginning of civilization. The inhabitants of Japan during the Jomon period (10,000 – 300 B.C.) were already making some of the most fascinating and intriguing pots and in modern Japan, it still seems to be the case. I am presenting a series of five imposing tsubo with great presence, crafted by Watanabe Aiko. Those jars are made in the Iga style of pottery and present the wonderful characteristics of that four hundred year old tradition: natural ash glaze running over high-fired clay; a sacred union of earth, fire and spirit. Watanabe Aiko was born in 1971 in Osaka. She graduated from Kyoto Saga University of Art in 1992 and went on to study Shigaraki pottery. In 2001, she established a kiln in the city of Iga, a historical pottery center, not far from Kyoto. She now has three kilns there and exposes regularly in cities like Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto The tsubo is in perfect condition. An optional signed box may be ordered. Dimensions: 37.5 x 39.9 cm (15 x 16 in) The listed price includes International shipping. Please make sure you read my Sales Policy Page and kindly inquire if you have any question. Some of the pieces presented in this catalog may be acquired through an interest free payment plan. | |||||||||||||||
