Vintage Japanese Flower Vase — 1950s, Showa Era (SKU: 25M-527)
Whispers of the Forest in a Single Hollow Form
This striking flower vase, made from a single cut of bamboo, is a testament to the Japanese appreciation of form, grain, and imperfection. The natural curvature, subtle grooves, and warm golden-brown hues reflect decades of quiet dignity. It likely served as a minimalist flower holder in a tokonoma alcove or tearoom.
The simplicity of the vessel speaks volumes — a celebration of nature's artistry, untouched by ornate embellishment. It is ideal for showcasing a single branch, stem, or piece of driftwood in the traditional Japanese aesthetic of "less is more."
