Subject:Old wine jar? What does inscribed calligraphy say?
Posted By: Jeff R. Wed, Nov 17, 2021 IP: 170.75.139.3 I bought this vase. I believe it is an old wine jar. Not sure if Japanese or Chinese, or what the inscribed (carved) calligraphy says. I found two pieces of paper inside. See photos. Any idea on the artist and possibly when made? I will have to reply a few times to get all the photos added.

These were originally made in the Kamakura period, and the early ones are very rare and valuable. Not surprisingly, there are many modern imitations such as the one I pictured.
