Star Fissure
This Japanese Ikebana vase is a striking piece that blends elegance with raw natural energy. Its form is a tall, flaring cone with a wide open mouth, offering a strong and balanced presence ideal for bold flower arrangements.
The glaze features a deep midnight indigo base, enriched with a cascade of metallic speckles that shimmer like starlight scattered across a night sky. A slender golden streak, organic and unrefined, cuts down the body — reminiscent of lightning illuminating a storm or a fissure in rock revealing hidden brilliance. The contrast between the dark matte surface and the glimmering highlights evokes a sense of mystery and strength.
This vessel embodies the Japanese appreciation for wabi-sabi (侘寂) — the beauty found in imperfection and transience — while providing a powerful stage for seasonal flowers and branches.
