| Description of works | 【What was the purpose of the hole on this barrel-shaped pottery?】 This is a haso, which is a tsubo (narrow-mouthed jar) with a hole on its body. Many haso have round bodies but this one looks like a barrel lying sideways. Given the hole, it is hard to believe that the jar could hold liquids, but the hole became a spout after the hollow stem of a plant such as bamboo was inserted in order to dispense rice wine, sacred water, and other liquids. The haso’s shape originally came from the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, along with the production technique for sue ware (stoneware). |
