Description from the seller
A refined Japanese vermilion cast bronze vase titled “Sagi Musume” (Sagi Musume, “Heron Maiden”), created by the contemporary metal artist Keiko Aizawa (Aizawa Keiko).
This elegant vase features a teardrop silhouette with a ribbed neck and smooth curvature, finished in a deep vermilion-brown lacquer that enhances the bronze’s natural sheen.
The design embodies the essence of Japanese minimalism—simple yet powerful, evoking the grace and poise of the “Heron Maiden” from traditional Noh and Kabuki theatre.
The vase is presented in its original signed wooden box (Kiribako), inscribed with the title “Sagi Musume” and the artist’s name “Aizawa Keiko”, confirming its authenticity.
This piece represents the fusion of traditional Japanese bronze craftsmanship with modern sensibility, making it ideal for collectors of Japanese fine metalwork or elegant interior display.
