AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Tsurukubi Dō Kabin 鶴首銅花瓶(つるくびどうかびん)|Nakajima Yasumi 中島保美(なかじまやすみ)

A refined Japanese bronze vase created using the chūdō (cast bronze) technique.
Its slender, crane-neck silhouette gives a clean, elegant presence, making it ideal as a single-stem vase.
The weight and depth of bronze, together with the natural patina developed over time, create a rich and atmospheric finish.
It harmonizes beautifully not only with traditional Japanese interiors, but also with modern spaces.
