These are akarino-tane's tiny wooden flower vase series from the city of Asahikawa, Hokkaido. See what an ordinary hand-picked field flower can give you.
These vases are all designed after of the classical Japanese flower vases.
A sake-flask-inspired vase "TOKURI" with a quietly grounded presence, its form gently flattened as if pressed from above-low, wide, and calm.
In the Japanese tradition of flower arrangement, flowers of the season are put in a specially selected vase in such a manner that brings out the beauty of the flowers themselves.
The designer, INOUE Hiroyuki, has created these tiny vases so that many people can gain a feel of what the Japanese art of flower arrangement is like.
Note that these vases are NOT water-proof, so please do not pour water in them.
Please find beauty in the evanescence of flowers, withering to death.
If you do not like frequently changing flowers, it may be a good idea to put berry- or nut-bearing plants.
