S. Morishita Bud Vase
$ 115.00 USD
Unlike the carefully hammered exteriors of this artist's kitchenware line, the S. Morishita Bud Vase features a texture that seems somehow both purposeful and wholly organic, much like the floral arrangements it's designed to hold. A close inspection reveals a certain regularity to the metal's surface but never quite a pattern - more of a suggestion that the natural world might, with great patience and skill, be shaped according to an artist's will.
About S. Morishita
Though all artisanal wares take on unique traits born of their creators' philosophies and techniques, rarely is such individuality so evident as in the work of artist S. Morishita. From the beautifully textured surfaces of his distinctive decor to the organic, hand-shaped look of his aluminum kitchenware, each aspect of Morishita metalworks serves as a reminder of this experienced artist's singular appeal.
Materials: Aluminum
Dimensions: 3.15" L x 2.65" W x 4.75" H
Care: Wipe with a damp cloth as necessary to remove dust or dirt, then dry immediately and thoroughly.

Add a little flower or two and see how a cold, dark backdrop can make a tiny blossom shine.
About CK Metalworks
While tradition is important to the artisans at metalworking studio "CK," they tend to take a less conservative view on the subject. Rather than limiting their techniques to those practiced by their predecessors, they view age-old cast iron crafting methods as living tools meant to enrich people's lives and see the possibility of new customs in contemporary techniques.

About Acrylate Resin Casting
As with amber, insects and other curiosities can be preserved in acrylic resin for generations. The process typically involves pouring acrylic into a mold with the dried plant on a slightly solidified gel. The specimen is then pressurized in the mold to remove bubbles before being slowly heated to stabilize the acrylic bonds. Finally, the specimen is shaped and buffed to remove any surface markings, creating a vibrant representative of a favorite plant that never wilts or fades.
Materials: Acrylic resin, bunny tail grass

Fujigoke Moss
$ 39.00 USD
This vibrant moss is cultivated at the foot of Mt. Fuji, then finished by craftsmen who expertly preserve each display through a unique freeze-drying process.

Tanaka Turquoise Vase - Short
$ 160.00 USD
This beautiful bud vase is handmade by artist Keiichi Tanaka. Bathed in a vibrant turquoise blue, this simple vessel echoes the bright optimism of ancient Egyptian and Turkish pottery. See Tanaka's full line here.
About Keiichi Tanaka
The work of Keiichi Tanaka stems from a lifelong fascination with the often-overlooked beauty of functional objects. Inspired by the visual poetry of agricultural implements, Tanaka creates softly textured glazes and unexpected shapes for otherwise common objects. His rustic-yet-contemporary work invokes an atmosphere of, as he puts it, "time accumulation" - the sense that an object could be equally at home in a long-ago past or a not-so-distant future. Tanaka has exhibited his art widely throughout Japan and Europe and currently lives in Saitama, Japan.
