Last century, ikebana experienced a meteoric rise across Japan, leading kilns to produce vast numbers of ikebana vases before societal and economic shifts gradually reduced ikebana’s popularity and many kilns faded or closed entirely.
Once we sell a vase, it is often gone for good — we rarely know if or when another example will surface again. Japan Modern has become the world’s premier specialist dealer in sourcing these mid 20th century Japanese ikebana vases and delivering them globally from Japan. Pictured vases went to London, Singapore, Hong Kong, LA and Georgia in the US. I hand packed every vase myself and still remember every buyer. Thank you for the support over the years.
