About the Item

This is a superb and guaranteed authentic vermilion-bronze vase of top-shaped (tōgata) form, created by the celebrated Japanese artist Hasuda Shūgorō (蓮田 修吾郎). A quintessential piece for the discerning collector of Japanese tea ceremony utensils and modern crafts, it embodies the highest level of artistry and technical mastery. The vase features a rich, warm patina and a robust, elegant form that is both classic and powerfully modern. Its top-shaped design is highly prized in the tea ceremony tradition, making this piece not only a sculptural work of art but also a functional object of cultural significance. About the Artist: Hasuda Shūgorō (1915-2010) Hasuda Shūgorō was a pivotal figure in 20th-century Japanese metalwork, whose distinguished career spanned over seven decades. A graduate of the prestigious Tokyo Fine Arts School (now Tokyo University of the Arts), he was a central member of the Japanese art establishment: Acclaimed Recognition: He was a multiple award-winner at the prestigious Nitten Exhibition, receiving top honors including the Asakura Prize, the Hokuto Prize, and the Minister of Education Award. Leadership and Legacy: He co-founded influential art associations such as the Creative Crafts Association and the Japan Contemporary Arts and Crafts Association. His legacy is also cemented through his role as a professor and later professor emeritus at Tokyo University of the Arts. Highest Honors: He was a member of the Japan Art Academy and was posthumously awarded the Junior Third Rank court rank, a rare honor reflecting his immense contribution to Japanese culture. Public Monuments: His large-scale public works, such as the "Bridge of the Four Islands" monument in Hokkaido, attest to the grand scale and national importance of his artistry. This vase is a testament to Hasuda Shūgorō's lifetime of dedication to his craft, representing a perfect fusion of traditional technique and individual creative spirit.
