We are proud to present a unique and rare creation from the esteemed Arita artist, Fujii Shumei — the 'Moonlit Silhouette' vase, an art piece where traditional craftsmanship meets nocturnal mystery. Standing at 29.8 cm, this vase is not just an object of beauty but a narrative of nightfall captured in porcelain. Crafted with the celebrated Arita ware technique, this piece deviates from the traditional Asahi Sometsuke style, embracing the enigmatic allure of a night scene. The landscape painted upon this vase is a tranquil, moonlit panorama — a stark contrast to the usually vibrant daylight scenes. This design choice speaks volumes of Fujii Shumei's versatility and willingness to explore the serene beauty of nature under the spell of a full moon. The crane-neck silhouette of this vase, coupled with its exceptional height, offers a perfect canvas for depicting the detailed, shadowy treetops caressed by the soft moonlight. The depicted scenery is a rare theme in Fujii Shumei's collection, making it an exceptional find for connoisseurs and a conversation starter for any admirer of Japanese art. The vase comes in impeccable condition, reflecting its well-kept legacy and the high standards of its creator. It promises to be a centerpiece of admiration, whether placed in a home, office, or gallery, infusing the space with a whisper of midnight tales and the quiet poise of the forest at dusk.
