Each piece is carefully packed for international delivery.
This small salt-glazed jar, unearthed in Germany (18th century), has been paired with a metal escutcheon—likely made of copper—discovered in the Netherlands, creating a unique tea container.
It would be fitting to line the interior of the escutcheon with washi paper.
While it may be difficult to envision in Japan, there is a notable community of enthusiasts in Europe who engage in amateur archaeology.
I have had the opportunity to accompany them on several occasions. They eagerly pack their metal detectors into their vehicles and venture out to medieval fields and riverbanks, relishing the thrill of excavation.
Among the artifacts that circulate today, from ancient Roman glass to Delftware and even metal fragments, many have been unearthed and subsequently released by these hobbyists. Witnessing the emergence of ancient objects from the earth has profoundly altered my perspective on material culture. I find beauty in the essence of objects, recognizing that they too will eventually return to the soil.
