this work is an underglaze blue landscape vase created by japanese arita ware ceramic artist fujii shumei. the elegant and refined bottle form is decorated with a tranquil landscape rendered solely in shades of blue, representing a harmonious fusion of japanese poetic sensibility and advanced decorative craftsmanship. the body of the vase depicts a lakeside scene enveloped in mist, accompanied by a dense coniferous forest painted with delicate brushwork. each tree is constructed through highly precise repetitive detailing, while distant mountains appear softly veiled in haze, skillfully creating depth and atmospheric perspective. although executed in monochrome underglaze blue, the subtle tonal gradations and gentle diffusion of pigment evoke a serene and dreamlike landscape. the white porcelain body is smooth and translucent, enhancing the contrast with the painted decoration and giving the piece an overall sense of refined elegance. the graceful curvature from the neck to the rim demonstrates a perfect balance between sculptural beauty and visual appreciation. the work is highly valued not only as a functional flower vase but also as a fine example of japanese artistic porcelain. size: height: 21.5 cm width: 14 cm circumference: 42 cm weight: 850 g shipping: shipped via dhl or japan post. please note that import duties or customs fees may apply depending on your country. please place your bid with this understanding.
