Description from the seller
A beautiful vintage Japanese Karakane bronze flower vessel known as “Ogencho” (御玄猪), traditionally associated with the art of Ikenobo Ikebana.
The vessel was designed for traditional Japanese flower arrangement and is associated with formal Ikebana styles such as Rikka and Shoka. Its substantial metal construction provides stability for arranging branches and flowers while reflecting the refined functionality of traditional Japanese flower vessels.
Made in a warm, aged bronze tone, the piece has a dignified and understated appearance characteristic of traditional Japanese Ikebana utensils. The natural patina and signs of age add depth and character to the metal surface.
As an example of traditional Kado (the Way of Flowers) equipment, this Ogencho vessel would be especially appealing to collectors of Japanese Ikebana utensils, Ikenobo practitioners, and enthusiasts of traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
