About the Item

A finely carved Japanese wooden flower vessel in the form of a traditional bucket (oke). Once associated with the aesthetics of tea culture and seasonal flower display, this piece embodies the principles of wabi-sabi through its irregular surface, rich patina, and the quiet presence of hand-carved detail. While rooted in tradition, the vessel feels remarkably contemporary today: its sculptural silhouette and warm wooden texture resonate as both a decorative object and a functional container. Whether placed as a centerpiece on a low table, used for ikebana, or simply appreciated as a rustic sculptural accent, it offers timeless versatility. This blend of history and modern relevance makes it an evocative addition to interiors that value authenticity, simplicity, and natural beauty.
