Thank you for viewing. This is a rare "hanging flower vase" by Jinpachi Ogawa, a master craftsman representing Kasama-yaki pottery. • Story of this work: The powerful yet warm texture of the yakishime (unglazed, high-fired) pottery, unique to Mr. Jinpachi. And the adorable "frog" figure perched on it. Frogs have been cherished since ancient times as a symbol of good luck, representing "returning good fortune" and "safe return." This small guardian seems to gently watch over the flowers placed in it, a piece that evokes a story. • Elevating the space: It blends surprisingly well not only in a tokonoma (alcove) but also as an accent in concrete walls or modern living rooms. Just by placing a single flower, it has an overwhelming presence that envelops the space in a serene atmosphere. • Condition: It is a near-mint condition piece that has been carefully stored. It is a complete set with the artist's signed "kyobako" (wooden box) and "shifuku" (protective cloth), so we confidently recommend it for collections or as a gift for someone special. #JinpachiOgawa #JinpachiGama #KasamaYaki #HangingFlowerVase #SingleFlowerVase #Vase #Frog #GoodLuckCharm #TeaCeremonyUtensils #Mingei #LivingNationalTreasure #WaModern #ShopFixtures #TreatYourself
