Flusso Ash Black Vase

$700

Made by IWATA

Iwata Mokkou Studio works from Hiroshima, Japan, where wood has been shaped by hand for generations. The Flusso vase series emerges from that tradition, each piece finished individually by skilled craftsmen whose primary task is coaxing the grain of the ash to the surface.

The process involves a sequence of polishing and finishing techniques, applied with careful attention to how light moves across the wood. Color is not simply applied but balanced against the grain, making each vase a distinct object. The Ash Black finish draws out the depth of the material, quiet and composed.

  • Crafted from ash wood in Hiroshima, Japan
  • Hand-finished to balance color with the natural grain

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Flusso vase suitable for fresh flowers or water?

The Flusso vase is crafted from ash wood and is best used as a dry vessel or with dried botanical arrangements. Direct contact with water is not recommended, as it may affect the wood's finish over time.

How is each Flusso vase finished by Iwata Mokkou Studio?

Each vase is polished and finished by hand using a series of techniques developed to bring the wood grain forward and ensure the color sits in harmony with the natural figure of the ash. No two pieces are identical.

Where is Iwata Mokkou Studio based, and what is their craft tradition?

Iwata Mokkou Studio is based in Hiroshima, Japan, and works within a long regional tradition of precision woodworking. Their pieces emphasize the material's innate character rather than concealing it.

What does the Ash Black finish look like on this vase?

The Ash Black finish is understated and deep, allowing the grain of the ash wood to remain visible beneath the surface color. The effect is contemplative rather than decorative, with the wood's natural texture perceptible to the touch.

Is the Flusso vase handmade or produced in large quantities?

Each Flusso vase is individually hand-finished by craftsmen at the Iwata Mokkou Studio, making production inherently limited. Variation between pieces is an expected and valued quality of the series.
