This work has the power to capture the magnificent beauty of nature within a vessel and capture the hearts of those who see it.

A fantastical world woven with azure and gold

"Hana Jyuiro" is characterized by the quiet depth of the deep navy blue glaze and the brilliant sparkle of the gold leaf scattered within. This contrast is reminiscent of a star-filled night sky. The gold patterns that appear against the navy blue reflect soft light, and their appearance changes depending on the viewing angle and the way the light hits them. When you pick up the piece, the smooth ceramic surface feels cool and comfortable, and the golden glow that spreads across the deep color creates a feeling of the infinite universe. More than just a vase, this work of art has a presence that envelops the entire space, creating a special atmosphere.

A stage where a single flower stands out

When you place flowers in this vase, you will feel them radiate with a jewel-like sparkle. Even a simple single flower takes on a special presence when placed in this vase. The colors of the flowers, which stand out against the navy blue background, combined with the light of the gold leaf, brighten up the entire room, bringing richness and vitality to your daily life. The shape has a soft, plump shape that exudes warmth yet also possesses a certain dignity.

Hand-drawn patterns create individuality and poetry

The gold patterns on "Hana Jiro" are all hand-painted by artisans. As a result, each piece has a different expression, exuding a unique charm. The delicate yet bold brushwork is the result of Fujihira Yasushi's outstanding technique and sensibility. The patterns evoke the beauty of nature, such as the stars shining in the night sky or the light reflected in the deep sea, giving the work a poetic worldview.
