This is a tsurukubi (crane-neck) flower vase made of karakane (bronze). It is a work by the metal artist Shuji Negoro, and comes with a matching box. Both the box inscription and the bottom stamp read "Shuji," indicating that the box and the artwork are by the same artist. Although it is an item that has been stored for a long time, there are no noticeable scratches or dents, and I believe the overall condition is good. (Please note that there may be minor scratches, etc.) It is a piece with a strong presence, suitable not only as a flower vase for tea ceremony and flower arrangement, but also as a decoration for the tokonoma alcove. Everything in the photos is included. We appreciate your understanding and purchase.
