Vase HANAIRE Susudake 1 – Tango Tanimura

This Hanaire vase is hand made by Bamboo Master Craftsman Tango Tanimura.

Hanaire are used as part of the Japanese Tea Ceremony to decorate a Chashitsu (tea room) with a flower or plant arrangement (Ikebana). It can also be used in general to display your favourite plants or flowers.

This Hanaire is made with antique Susudake bamboo that has been exposed over a fireplace or hearth in a traditional Japanese home to produce it’s unique colour and markings.

This colouration process can take many decades, even a hundred or more years. It is becoming more rare as these traditional homes become more scarce.

It can stand flat, but is best hung as it’s quite tall and narrow. It features a hole to hang on a wall and and a separate bamboo insert that fits inside the outer vase to hold water.

The maker has painted his stamp or signature on the reverse.
