The original box is inscribed 鑄銅萬年青花瓶, identifying it as a cast-copper omoto flower vase. Its rich purple-red, mottled surface is consistent with the coloured bronze and variegated patination associated with Yasumi’s work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe underside is inscribed ヤマト消火器 \/ 1961 \/ 保美. It retains its original inscribed wooden box, signed 保美 inside, together with the artist biography paper and yellow protective cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Linie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55076702355797,"sku":"VA-0026","price":595.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/2887\/2021\/files\/nakajima-yasumi-ii-sculptural-bronze-vase-1961-02.jpg?v=1790151215","url":"https:\/\/thelinie.com\/products\/nakajima-yasumi-ii-sculptural-bronze-vase-1961","provider":"The Linie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
