The form — waisted at the lower third, then rising to a precise horizontal mouth — is a translation of a named piece, a meibutsu-utsushi: a work made in honorable study of something older, something that passed through famous hands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeight: approx. 27.5 cm\u003cbr\u003eKoshi-ichimonji (waisted, flat-mouthed) form\u003cbr\u003eSigned wooden box (tomobako)\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Excellent — beautiful aged patina, verdigris at rim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKodo, the bronze alloy used in classical Chinese and Japanese metalwork, achieves its characteristic dark warmth through an alloying process that remains largely unchanged from Tang dynasty metallurgy. The green verdigris appearing at the mouth of this piece is not corrosion — it is evidence: a surface that has been exposed to air and humidity across the years and responded with the chemistry of its own making.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe koshi-ichimonji form — literally \"waist one-character\" — refers to the horizontal line created by the flat mouth set against the slender neck. It is a form favored in chabana, the flower arrangements of the tea room, because it does not compete. A single stem of camellia or a branch of autumn berries placed here completes a tokonoma without overstating it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIchinose Soshin brings the exactitude of classical metal casting to this tradition. The signed wooden box affirms both authorship and continuity of care.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e【日本語説明】\u003cbr\u003e一ノ瀬宗辰造の胡銅名物写腰一文字花入です。高さ27.5cmの堂々とした古典的形状で、口縁に青緑の錆が経年の風合いを加えています。茶室の床飾りに最適な一文字形の花器。共箱付き、状態良好。茶花を一輪飾るだけで床の間が引き締まる力ある作品です。\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🔹 [ SHIPPING \u0026amp; PACKAGING ]\u003cbr\u003e• Dispatch: Within 1-6 business days\u003cbr\u003e• Carrier: Japan Post EMS \/ UPS (with tracking)\u003cbr\u003e• Packaging: Carefully wrapped with protective materials","brand":"The Modern Zen Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61661581050226,"sku":"260316_a_2436","price":711.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/5680\/3698\/files\/m90954755862_1.jpg?v=1773638264","url":"https:\/\/checkout.themodernzenarchive.com\/products\/ichinose-soshin-kodo-bronze-flower-vase-koshi-ichimonji-27-5cm","provider":"The Modern Zen Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
