BeschrijvingA dark brown jar, with a ball shaped stone on top of it, and on top of that two smaller stones. There are traces of salty water, seeping out of the upper part of the jar.
I made them to use as vessels for making pickles. They are also urns for bones, burial jars, and vessels for life, including our bodies. When fermentation occurs, the jar becomes a habitat for micro organisms. When making pickles, I put some vegetables and salt into the jar and press them with weight. The water from the vegetables then seeps out, and the salty water overflow from its eyes.
I remember picking up my grandfather's bones with chopsticks after the cremation. This is called 'Kotsuage'. After that, we had a banquet together, talking about our grandfather and eating with chopsticks. It felt as if the Kotsuage was still going on, and the urn was a part of our body.
