Arita Ware Large Vase - Iroe Cherry Blossoms and Seigaiha Waves, by Obata Yuji

Sale price¥1,694,800

A vase whose swelling, spherical body gives it a graceful form.

Cherry Blossom and Blue Waves
On white porcelain like snow, a riot of flowers in full bloom is drawn with a delicate brush. Each cherry blossom shows its own expression, and the lines of blue waves stand out with grace. Gradations of crimson and pale pink call up, in lustrous colour, a scene of spring at its height.

“Beauty of the Heart”
Sakura is a special flower for the Japanese, who have found in it an exceptional beauty and long admired it. To say hanami — flower viewing — is generally to mean sakura. The language of the cherry blossom is “beauty of the heart,” and since ancient times the word “flower” has meant sakura.

A Gift in the Japanese Spirit
A piece filled with the Japanese spirit, recommended as a gift for someone who matters to you, and equally welcome as a present or souvenir for someone from abroad. Every large vase we handle is a one-off, painted entirely by hand without transfers, and comes with a special paulownia box bearing the artist’s inscription.
