Jar
Osako Mikio Japanese
Not on view
Ōsako dedicated himself to reviving the traditions of the oldest of Japan’s six ancient kiln sites, Tokoname. Drawing inspiration from old Sueki and unglazed (yakishime) wares, he used simple shapes and natural ash glazes for tea ceramics and larger vessels. The robust form of this wide-mouthed jar is reminiscent of high-fired stoneware storage jars from the Muromachi period (1392–1573).
