HISTORY: High waves like this are known as Araumi (rough sea) and were initially portrayed with fierce sea creatures amongst the waves, but in recent centuries are usually stylised. This piece is an original vintage piece dating from the Late-Showa Period (1970’s). The exterior condition is excellent on the front, some marks on the back (see photo). Interior is good condition but there is staining to the base of the inside (not visible from outside) – otherwise in excellent condition for an item over 40 years old.
