Japanese Yaki Sugi Wooden Ikebana Vase Signed Copper Insert Handcraft

Authentic Japanese Vintage 1970s Yaki Sugi Wooden Ikebana Vase | Signed Artist Piece | Copper Flower Holder | Hand-Carved Yakisugi Wood | Japanese Antique Auction

Bring the timeless beauty of Japanese craftsmanship into your home with this authentic vintage Yaki Sugi (焼杉) wooden flower vase, handcrafted in Japan during the 1970s and sourced from an official Japanese antique auction.

Beautifully carved from a single piece of wood, this sculptural vase showcases the traditional Yaki Sugi (Shou Sugi Ban) wood-burning technique, which enhances the natural grain while providing durability and a deep charcoal-black finish. The dramatic organic silhouette reflects the Japanese appreciation for nature and the philosophy of wabi-sabi, finding beauty in simplicity and natural imperfections.

Inside the vase is an original solid copper water container, allowing fresh flowers or ikebana arrangements to be displayed safely while protecting the wooden body. The base bears the artist's signature, confirming it as an individually crafted studio piece rather than a mass-produced decorative item.

Its striking form makes it equally impressive as a standalone sculpture or functional ikebana vessel.

About Yaki Sugi

Yaki Sugi, also known internationally as Shou Sugi Ban, is a centuries-old Japanese wood preservation technique where the wood surface is lightly charred. This process naturally protects the wood against moisture, insects, and decay while creating its distinctive rich black appearance and highlighting the beautiful grain patterns beneath.

Combined with Ikebana flower arranging, pieces like this celebrate the harmony between natural materials, handcrafted artistry, and minimalist Japanese aesthetics.
