Usubata vases,characterized by their wide,shallow bowls,are an iconic part of Japanese flower arrange-ment,especially Ikebana. Originating in the 17th century during the Edo period,these bronze vessels were designed for formal floral displays,offering a harmonious setting for flowers with their broad rims. In the early Meiji era,usubata vases gained international attention as Japan opened to the West. Elaborate,multi-part vases from regions like Takaoka and Kanazawa became highly prized at global exhibitions and were widely exported. Skilled artisans created intricate designs featuring natural motifs,blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with Western influences.
