Thinking of the night-blooming beauty...

Original vessels created by ceramic artist Morishita Shingo. The lid was created by woodworker Yasushi Shimizu to fit the container. With this combination, a new "lidded container" was created. The piece we would like to introduce this time is one that exudes an air of dignified presence, reminiscent of a samurai helmet or the moon. The body is a simple, matte white stand-shaped container. When you open the lid, the soft red color of the inside jumps out at you. The lid is decorated with relief and the knob is shaped like a moon. The contrast between the white of the body and the dark color of the lid is beautiful. When using it as a vase, place the lid to the side so that it becomes part of the scenery. As an object, as a vase... So, what would you put here? How do you use it? ■Material: Container/Ceramics Lid: Walnut ■Size: Diameter approx. 220mm, height approx. 315mm *The lid has a ceramic finish. It is resistant to moisture, but if left unattended it may stain, so if moisture gets on it, wipe it off as soon as possible. Also, do not use a dish dryer, dry it in direct sunlight, or use a microwave, as these may cause cracks or warping. Also, the lid is not airtight, so it is not suitable as a storage container for items that dislike moisture.
