Traditional crafts designated as intangible cultural properties in Ehime Prefecture
It is a Tobe ware wine bottle made in Tobe-cho, Ehime prefecture. From the anecdote that Tobe ware did not break even when thrown together in a quarrel between husband and wife, it is a tough and durable porcelain that is also called a "Quarrel ware". One of the features of Tobe porcelain, the contrast painted in white porcelain and indigo blue, makes it simple, beautiful and clean.
