会田富康作　青銅筒形花入【 Bronze vase by Tomiyasu Aida】 [k0609]

紐結びの様な和的なデザインが印象的な青銅花入れ。上から下にかけて僅かに細くなる円筒形に、上部の四角く張り出した形状は緊張感がありつつも曲線の模様が入ることによってどこか親しみやすさを感じます。会田富康の作品特有のユニークな造形感覚が随所に表れた作品です。

A bronze flower vase adorned with a Japanese-style design reminiscent of knotted cords. Its cylindrical form tapers slightly from top to bottom, while the square protrusion at the top creates a sense of tension. Yet, the curved patterns incorporated into this shape lend it an approachable quality. While Tomiyasu Aida's works often feature stylized animals and plants, this piece also showcases his uniquely distinctive sculptural sensibility throughout.
