Vintage Japanese Bamboo Flower Vase — “Standing Crane” Form, Heisei Era (SKU: 25M-459-3-12)
Grace in Stillness: A Crane That Carries Water and Beauty

Ethereal in form and deeply rooted in Japanese aesthetic sensibilities, this handcrafted bamboo flower vase captures the essence of the standing crane (tachi-zuru), a revered symbol of longevity and grace. Crafted during the Heisei era (circa 2000s), its tall, vertical posture and delicately carved open front evoke the poised silhouette of a crane at rest—elegant, tranquil, and full of quiet dignity.

The natural golden hue of the aged bamboo glows softly, harmonizing with the warmth of its finely fitted wooden box bearing the inscription “立鶴” (Tachi-zuru). The subtle joinery and flowing curvature reflect the spirit of wabi-sabi, where imperfection and simplicity invite contemplation. Whether used for ikebana or displayed as a sculptural piece, it whispers of nature, poetry, and transience.
