The Haji ware, which draws its lineage from the pottery of the Yayoi period, refers to a collective term for the reddish-brown earthenware produced from the Kofun period to the Heian period.
These vessels come in a remarkable variety of sizes and forms, serving purposes such as the storage of water and grains, cooking, and offerings for ritual ceremonies.

This piece is a wide-mouthed jar, known in the Kanto region as Izumi-style, characterized by its earthenware composition and bowl-like shape. It was utilized in festivals and other ceremonial occasions.
Accompanied by a wooden box.
