The Haji ware, which draws its lineage from the pottery of the Yayoi period, refers to a category of red-brown earthenware produced from the Kofun period to the Heian period (250-581 CE).
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 rituals.

This piece is a wide-mouthed jar, known in the Kanto region as Izumi-style, characterized by its earthenware construction. It was utilized in various ceremonial contexts.

Its charmingly incomplete appearance evokes a sense of beauty, making it an ideal candidate for a flower vase, perhaps with a small cup nestled within.
