About the Item

Dimensions: Height 18.7 cm Origin: Tsubame, Niigata, Japan Material: Pure copper (dōsei) A finely hand-hammered copper vase (tsuiki dōsei kabin) crafted by the renowned metalwork atelier Gyokusendō (玉川堂), celebrated for its exceptional mastery in tsuiki — the traditional Japanese technique of shaping metal through meticulous hammering. The surface bears the distinctive tsuchime pattern — thousands of subtle hammer marks that create a living texture, reflecting light like ripples on still water. The piece’s form is simple yet deeply elegant, intended as a hanaire (flower vase) for a single stem in ikebana or as a sculptural art object. It comes in its original signed tomobako (wooden box), affirming authenticity and preserving its heritage. A timeless work of Japanese craftsmanship — both minimalist and poetic, embodying the beauty of imperfection and the rhythm of the artisan’s hand.
