Description

Mt. Fuji, the pride of Japan, is the motif of this unique flower vase.

On days of clear skies, the rare spectacle of a reversed Mt. Fuji, known as sakasa Fuji in Japanese, can be marveled on lakes and rice paddies near its base and is considered a symbol of good fortune due to its rarity. This rare picturesque sight is wonderfully recreated on the surface of the water in this beautiful vase.

The blue Mt. Fuji, known as ao-Fuj in Japanese, is a depiction of Mt. Fuji in the summer. The intricate slopes are finely recreated with the silver color of aluminum and the dark blue hue of the baked acrylic paint coating on aluminum beautifully enhances the metallic peak.

This ikebana, Japanese-style flower arrangement, vase comes with a kenzan, a metallic flower frog, to set flowers and greenery. The small kenzan can be easily used by those new to ikebana. The water beneath the floral arrangement reflects a reversed Mt. Fuji and provides a peaceful backdrop to the floral display.

Each piece is handmade using the sand casting technique where a metallic base is made by pouring hot metal into a hardened sand mold. This traditional technique has been handed down in Takaoka City, the heartland of metalwork, for over 400 years.
