Ikebana vase By Arita

Ikebana is a type of flower arrangement that originated and remains traditional in Japan. The concept and art of Ikebana require you to place a scarce variety of blooms in a vase. Besides flowers, you might also reach for a pretty leaf, a few blades of grass, a branch or a twig. In Japanese flower arrangements, nothing is off limits. Once you have a collection of items, it's time to start putting things together. Last photos are some examples of Japanese flower arrangements. Bought this in Kyoto Japan in an antique shop, comes from smoke free pet free home. I think I found another similar vase like it, so if you like this pattern please see the other listing as well- I believe the artist is Arita
