Cranes in Flight Japanese Flower Vase

Angebot$2,125.00 USD

Beschreibung

Capturing the beauty of a fleeting moment in nature, this Kutani ware vase is crafted by artist Nakamura Toshito. A flock of cranes is depicted with their wings outstretched in graceful motion amid a softly frosted sky. The imagery evokes the hush of midwinter, when snow blankets the land and the air grows still.

Nakamura employs the refined furi technique to dust the surface with pale speckles, lending the bluish glaze a layered texture. The result is a scene that feels at once delicate and expansive, echoing the stillness of a snow-filled sky. The vase’s elongated body provides a generous canvas for the cranes’ sweeping flight, allowing their airy forms, rendered with fine brushwork and balanced use of white, to unfold with rhythm across the surface.

In Japanese culture, cranes (tsuru) are cherished symbols of longevity, peace, and good fortune. Their unified motion here evokes resilience and calm strength—a quiet harmony in the face of seasonal change. 

The opening of the vase flares outward, adding a hint of modernity to a classic motif. It’s a work that invites calmness through both sight and touch, reserved in expression, yet deeply resonant.
