About the Item
An exceptional example of traditional Japanese metalwork, this hand-hammered copper vase was crafted by renowned master Takano Ryoichi, a highly respected artisan in the field of Tsuiki Copperware (鎚起銅器).
Tsuiki is a centuries-old Japanese technique that involves hammering and raising sheets of copper into elegant forms. Rather than stretching the metal, the craftsman skillfully compacts it through repeated strikes using a variety of custom-made iron rods and hammering tools. This process requires incredible precision, as the copper must be repeatedly softened in a furnace between hammering stages to prevent cracking.
The surface of this vase reflects the subtle textures of the handwork and bears a warm, refined patina. The final step of the process—oxidation coloring—imbues the copper with its characteristic deep tone and highlights the individuality of each piece. The result is a vase that blends tradition, technique, and sculptural beauty.
This piece is a testament to the mastery of Takano Ryoichi and would make a compelling addition to any collection of Japanese crafts, metals, or minimalist interior decor.

Contemporary Japanese Cloissoné Copper Vessel Shippo Vase 2 by Yochiya Studio
By Yochiya
Located in Amsterdam, NL
Yochiya explore the untapped possibilities of cloisonné by combining improvisational and serendipitous modern techniques such as welding and hydraulic pressure, rather than relying solely on traditional techniques. Sculpting as if drawing, and embracing the accidental moments that arise, led to many fascinating discoveries.
Cloisonné ware is a craft in which a glassy glaze is applied to silver or copper and enclosed into the small sections separated by a wire. Japanese cloisonné enamel reached a technical peak, producing items more advanced than any that had existed before. In Japan cloisonné enamels are known as shippō-yaki
