Suruga Bamboo Craft Crescent Moon Single-Flower Vase

Description

A Harmony of Modern Leather and Traditional Bamboo Craft

Handmade in Shizuoka by the workshop Ranrinbo, this unique ichirinzashi (single-flower vase) showcases the beauty of Suruga Takezaiku, a traditional Japanese craft celebrated for its delicate, rounded bamboo splints (maru-takehigo). This design introduces a contemporary twist by incorporating premium white leather in a crescent moon shape.

Dual-Sided Aesthetic

This versatile vase offers two distinct styles depending on how it is displayed:

• Modern Style: Facing the white leather side forward creates a chic, contemporary crescent moon silhouette.
• Traditional Style: Rotating the vase reveals the intricate structure of the sepia-dyed bamboo splints, showcasing classic Japanese craftsmanship.

Craftsmanship & Materials

The bamboo rings and splints are dyed in a rich, original sepia tone and finished with a protective clear urethane coating. To hold water safely, the vase includes a removable inner tube (otoshi) made of synthetic resin.
