Shōhō — Bronzene sechseckige Vase mit Relief zweier Kraniche, Takaoka Dōki, Shōwa-Periode - Bronze - Shōhō - Japan - Shōwa Zeit (1926-1989)

– Bearing the mark of Shōhō (勝峰), a Takaoka bronze caster – Hexagonal (rokunen) form decorated with paired cranes (meoto-zuru / sō-kaku) in raised relief on each facet – Unused condition with the warm patina and tactile surface characteristic of Takaoka cast bronze Summary: A handsome hexagonal bronze vase by Shōhō, produced in the Takaoka bronze tradition. The six-sided body features paired cranes — symbols of longevity, fidelity, and good fortune — rendered in bold takemori (raised relief) that gives each facet a sculptural quality. Takaoka bronzeware from the Shōwa period represents a high point in the region's long metalworking history, and this vase is a fine example of that confident, decorative style. The paired crane motif (sō-kaku, or "husband and wife cranes") is among the most auspicious in Japanese visual culture. Two cranes together symbolise a long and harmonious life — a wish embedded in countless wedding gifts, seasonal decorations, and works of decorative art across Japan. Here, the cranes are modelled in pronounced relief across the vase's six flat panels, giving the piece a rhythmic, almost architectural presence. The bronze has the characteristic warmth and slight textural variation that results from traditional sand-casting methods used in Takaoka. The vase is in unused condition. Some minor surface irregularities are inherent to the casting process and part of the piece's handmade character rather than defects. With its bold form and symbolic weight, this vase would sit well on a sideboard, in a tokonoma alcove, or as a centrepiece on a dining table. It appeals equally to collectors of Japanese bronzeware and to those furnishing an interior with objects that carry meaning. Shipping & Handling We ship worldwide via DHL or EMS with full insurance and tracking. Professional packing ensures safe arrival; combined shipping available for multiple wins. Local customs duties are the buyer's responsibility. Seller Guarantee We specialise in authentic Japanese metalwork and guarantee this piece's authenticity.
