This Shigaraki Japanese Ceramic Ware vase has an interesting shape with almost a brutalist form.
Japanese Shinto priests – Japan’s indigenous religion – offered evergreen branches to the spirits for centuries to try to capture natural beauty.
When Buddhism emerged in the sixth century, Buddhist monks evolved these Shinto offerings into beautiful arrangements, and the art of ikebana was born.
