The piece comes from the Tenpōzan Kiln and was made by the potter Hirose Tanga.

The form, known as tsuru-kubi hanaire (crane-neck flower vase), is characterized by its rounded base and tall, slender neck – ideal for arranging a few graceful branches or flowers.

The glaze reveals a delicate crackle pattern in soft ivory and earthy tones, highlighted by warm reddish-brown accents that naturally emerged during firing. This creates a subtle yet powerful expression, perfectly aligned with the Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetic.

The original wooden tomobako storage box bears the calligraphy 花入 (hanaire – flower vase) and the potter’s name, and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
