Product Information

Japanese brass flower vase by Hasuda Shūgorō / 蓮田修吾郎, a major figure in post-war Japanese metalwork, Japan, late 20th century. The vase is signed on the base and comes with its original wooden storage box and printed artist leaflet. The box is inscribed 黄銅花入, meaning brass flower vase.

The vase is defined by a clean cylindrical form, fine horizontal incised lines, and a small side tab with a circular cut-out. The brass has a dark bronze-brown patinated surface, giving the piece a quiet, architectural presence.

The piece can be displayed as a Japanese artist metalwork object, or used as a single-stem flower vase.
Context

Hasuda Shūgorō was a major post-war Japanese metal-form artist, known for works spanning vessels, reliefs, sculpture, public art, and architectural settings. He was a professor at Tokyo University of the Arts, a Japan Art Academy member, became a Person of Cultural Merit in 1987, and received the Order of Culture in 1991.

This small brass flower vessel reflects the same controlled metal-form language at a domestic scale: restrained, precise, and led by structure rather than ornament.

Care Guide

Clean with a soft dry cloth for regular care. If used with water or fresh flowers, use a removable liner and dry thoroughly after use. Do not use brass polish, copper polish, acidic cleaners, abrasive cloths, or soaking, as these may disturb the dark patinated surface.
