Tashiko (English spelling)

Japanese: 多嘴壺 - たしこ（英語表記）duō zuǐ hú

A lidded jar decorated with a cylindrical hole (beak) on the shoulder. Notable examples are the celadon wares made at the Yuezhou and Longquan kilns of the Chinese Song dynasty. The vessels have an egg-shaped body and a five-layered body divided into five sections, and are decorated with five beaks on the shoulder. The beaks are beveled, and the body features lotus petals and arabesque patterns carved or stamped. It is thought that this was first used as a grave goods in the early Northern Song dynasty. Meanwhile, the multi-beaked jars seen in Japanese sansai and hai-yu are thought to be of a different lineage, continuing the lineage of sueki komoshi jars. [Kawahara Masahiko]

肩に円筒形の孔管(嘴)を装飾した蓋壺。中国宋代越州窯や竜泉窯で作られた青磁が顕著な遺例である。器形には卵形の胴と5段に分かれた五層瓶の胴をなすものとがあり，肩に5本の嘴を飾っている。嘴には面取を施し，胴には蓮弁や唐草文を刻花や印花で表す。北宋初期副葬品として始められたものとみられる。一方，日本の三彩や灰釉にみられる多嘴壺形のものは，別系統で須恵器の子持瓶の系譜を継ぐものとみられている。【河原正彦】
