This is a round jar (kame) from the now-defunct and hard-to-find Hisamatsu Kiln (Kyuumatsugama), a prestigious Tokoname ware kiln. It is a size 5 jar, with a "5" stamp on the bottom. It is known as a safe container that does not release environmental hormones and is resistant to acids and salt, making it ideal for use as a storage container for making miso, pickled plums, and nukazuke (fermented rice bran pickles). Especially from December to February is the preparation period for making miso.
