Vintage Japanese Kabin Flower Vase (SKU 25D-228-7)

Heisei-era round ceramic vase with hand-painted cranes and gold moon, with original signed tomobako box

This elegant vintage Japanese vase is thrown in a rounded, near-spherical form with a small, straight neck and warm sand-colored clay body. Across the surface, a flock of graceful cranes (tsuru) is hand-painted in soft whites and greys, their red crowns and dark tail feathers picked out in fine detail against the matte ceramic ground. The composition evokes a tranquil sky, with the birds rising in formation as if caught mid-flight.

A radiant gold circular moon balances the design, adding a subtle metallic sheen that catches the light and recalls traditional Nihonga painting. Gentle blue wave motifs at the base suggest water, completing a classic auspicious scene symbolizing longevity, fidelity, and good fortune. The vase bears the artist’s mark to the base and is accompanied by its original signed wooden tomobako storage box, making it a refined addition to any Japanese pottery or Heisei-era art collection.

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.

All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
