This elegant flower vase is a refined example of contemporary Japanese lacquerware, decorated in maki-e with the poetic motif of a rising sun and young pine trees (hinomode chishō). Against a softly lustrous ground, the golden sun emerges above stylized clouds, while delicate pines stand quietly along distant hills—a composition that evokes renewal, resilience, and the calm dignity of nature at dawn. The artist, Shōsō Yasuhara, is known for his restrained aesthetic and sensitive handling of traditional lacquer techniques. In this work, subtle gradations of color and the precise application of gold powder create a tranquil atmosphere, balancing decorative richness with a sense of spaciousness. The tall, square form further enhances the vertical rhythm of the design, making it suitable both as a functional flower vase and as a contemplative object for display. The interior is fitted with a silver-plated metal liner, providing practical protection for flower arrangements while preserving the integrity of the lacquer surface. Rooted in classical symbolism yet expressed with modern clarity, this piece embodies the enduring spirit of Japanese maki-e artistry.
