About the Item
A striking Japanese hand-hammered bronze vase by the acclaimed metal artist Hara Soemon (四代目晴雲, 4th generation Haruseiun), active during the Showa period.
Crafted using the Murashido (斑紫銅) technique — a traditional patination process that produces shimmering, multicolored surfaces in tones of deep purple, red, and bronze — this vase embodies both elegance and technical mastery. The smooth, elongated silhouette and lustrous finish evoke a modern aesthetic while remaining rooted in centuries-old Japanese metalworking traditions.
