ProfessionalProduct description
An Art-Deco-style silver-patinated bronze vase by Arisu Mitsuo 有栖美津雄(b. 1937), known under the artist name Bizan 美山.
Of compact globular form, the body rises from a short, slightly flared foot to a waisted neck with a lipped rim. The shoulder is finely decorated with a rhythmic composition of concentric circles in low relief, each centred by a small raised knob, evoking ripples on water.
The surface is finished in a deep, dark silver patina with a softly textured appearance.
Sealed to the underside: ‘Bi’ 美.

A full member of the Japan Crafts Association, he has exhibited since 1967 and received numerous awards, particularly recognised for his refined engraving and subtle surface treatments within the tradition of Takaoka metalwork.
Complete with the original signed and sealed wooden tomobako 共箱 (storage box), and accompanied by the artist’s leaflet. On the inside of the cover multiple inscriptions, signatures, seals and two quality stickers. “Designated as a Traditional Craft by the Japanese Minister of International Trade and Industry.” 通産大臣指定伝統的工芸品, and “Takaoka bronze ware” 高岡銅器.
