Mino Ware and Cypress Wood: Handcrafted Single-Flower Vase (Includes Odawara Cypress Wood Tray)

This is a lifestyle accessory that perfectly blends “nature” and “craftsmanship.” The warm Mino-yaki base, paired with a cypress tray that emits a natural fragrance, allows you to effortlessly enjoy the minimalist beauty of the “single-flower arrangement.” Even after the flowers have faded, the cypress tray gently cradles the fallen petals, transforming them into an elegant touch of beauty in your home. When not used for flowers, it serves as a stylish jewelry tray or entryway shelf.

Mino Ware, Gifu Prefecture: A Rare Craft on the Verge of Disappearance The base hails from Toki City in Gifu Prefecture, the home of ceramics, and is crafted using the “Gaba-zukomi” thin-walled forming technique, which is now extremely rare. Ceramics made with this technique are lightweight yet resilient, with a delicate texture that embodies the rustic and warm qualities of Mino Ware.

Odawara Woodwork, Kanagawa Prefecture: The Precise Warmth of Wood The cypress tray is handcrafted by Odawara artisans skilled in traditional marquetry. What appears to be a flat, thin board has actually been meticulously cut and adjusted on the reverse side to ensure a perfect fit with the base—secure and wobble-free—demonstrating the craftsman’s ultimate attention to detail.

Flower Arranging Made Easy: Featuring a specially designed narrow opening, even those new to flower arranging can effortlessly place a single bloom or a sprig of greenery. The flowers naturally achieve perfect visual balance without the challenge of securing the arrangement in a wide-open vase.
