AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Japanese Bamboo Single Flower Vase with Lacquered Weave – Ichirin-zashi一輪挿し
This elegant Japanese bamboo single-flower vase (Ichirin-zashi) is a refined example of traditional bamboo craftsmanship. The vessel features a beautifully woven bulbous body with wide, interlaced bamboo strips, creating a striking geometric pattern enhanced by a deep reddish-brown lacquer finish. The contrasting darker bamboo elements add depth and dimension, highlighting the artisanal weaving technique.
The tall cylindrical neck is intricately braided with a combination of tight plaiting and fine horizontal bindings, demonstrating careful handwork and structural balance. Two symmetrical side accents add architectural presence to the silhouette. The interior contains a removable cylindrical insert designed to hold water, making it suitable for displaying fresh flowers while preserving the integrity of the bamboo exterior.
This piece reflects the Japanese aesthetic of natural materials, craftsmanship, and understated elegance. Ideal as a decorative object or for use in traditional or contemporary interiors, it embodies both functional design and sculptural beauty.
