Item Title
Japanese Cast Bronze Flower Vase Phoenix Motifs by Hozan Yamamoto Takaoka Copperware Original Wooden Box
Item Description
Description
This exquisite Japanese cast bronze flower vase features a dynamic golden phoenix (Fenghuang) soaring over classic Paulownia leaves.
Crafted with a rustic, textured surface, it expresses the deep aesthetic of traditional Japanese metalwork.
A phoenix symbolizes good fortune, nobility, and rebirth, making this artistic vessel a compelling centerpiece for modern or traditional interiors.
Accompanied by its original artist-signed wooden box (Tomobako), it stands as a fine example of traditional craftsmanship.
Artist & Craft Background
Created by the second-generation Hozan Yamamoto, a distinguished master of Takaoka copperware (Takaoka Doki).
Takaoka copperware is a prestigious metalcraft originating in Toyama Prefecture with over 400 years of rich history.
First-generation Hozan established the workshop in 1908, dedicating his career to developing and refining casting techniques.
Succeeding the family legacy in 1980, second-generation Hozan expanded the art form and earned recognition from the Minister of International Trade and Industry as a Traditional Craftsperson of Merit.
