Japanese Antique Tokoname Kiln Fired Jar Fragment Wabi Sabi Style
This is an antique pottery fragment from the Tokoname ancient kiln system, dating from the early Kamakura period (12th–13th century).
It was originally part of a large storage jar (tsubo or kame) that deformed under intense heat during firing — a phenomenon known as hetatta tsubo (collapsed jar).
The flowing natural ash glaze and rugged surface embody the essence of wabi-sabi — beauty born from imperfection, transience, and the unpredictable power of fire.
