This refined single flower vase is an excellent example of traditional 香川漆器 (Kagawa Shikki), featuring the distinctive 蒟醤塗 (Kinma-nuri) technique. This method, recognized as an important Japanese intangible cultural heritage, involves carving intricate patterns into the surface and filling them with colored lacquer. The vase displays a striking contrast between a deep black lacquer ground and richly detailed vermilion ornamental motifs, showcasing fine craftsmanship and elegant design. Its slender, elongated form is ideal for ikebana or as a sophisticated decorative accent. The body is made of wood with a lacquer finish, and it includes an inner metal (likely brass) tube for holding water and flowers. The piece comes with its original wooden storage box, enhancing its collectibility and presentation. A beautiful fusion of traditional artistry and functionality, this vase is suitable for collectors, interior decoration, or Japanese art enthusiasts.
