SUSUDAKE HANGING FLOWER VASE, Edo Period (1603–1867 CE)

This hanging flower vase, crafted from soot-blackened bamboo, dates back to the Edo Period (1603–1867 CE). Soot-blackened bamboo is a unique material that has been infused with the essence of daily life over more than two centuries, resulting in a distinctive dark brown hue and a rich, deep texture. The elongated form of this bamboo vase invites thoughtful arrangement within any space, enhancing its aesthetic presence.

When using it as a hanging flower vase, it is recommended to place a drop-in container inside. The characteristic patina developed over time adds a profound depth, evoking a sense of history while remaining practical for contemporary use. Enjoy it with tea flowers or everyday wildflowers.
