descriptions:
These vases are all designed after six types of classical Japanese flower vases.

TSURUKUBI: crane neck
NATSUME: jujube
KINUTA: wooden block for beating cloths used for softening
UZUKUMARU: crouching
TOKURI: Japanese SAKE decanter
In the Japanese tradition of flower arrangement, flowers of the season are put in a specially selected vase in such a manner that brings out the beauty of the flowers themselves.
The designer, INOUE Hiroyuki, has created these tiny vases so that many people can experience the essence of the Japanese art of flower arrangement.
Please note that these vases are not waterproof, so avoid pouring water into them.
Please find beauty in the evanescence of flowers, as they wither and die.
If you dislike frequently changing flowers, it may be a good idea to opt for berry- or nut-bearing plants.
