高村豊周作　朱銅花入　松【 Bronze vase with Pine design by TOYOCHIKA TAKAMURA】 [k0571]

高村豊周は彫刻家高村光雲の三男として生まれ、18歳で津田信夫に師事。唐物など古典的な造形が多かった銅花器に新風を吹き込んだ作風はアールデコ様式を取り入れ、師の津田信夫とともに近代金工界を牽引した。1964年には重要無形文化財保持者（人間国宝）に認定。特に晩年の回転体からなる円壷の評価は高い。

こちらの作品もアールデコの様式を思わせる壷形に輪をはめた様な筋紋と松葉の意匠。洋と和のデザインが朱銅で形作られた豊周ならではの作品です。

Takamura Toyochika was born as the third son of sculptor Takamura Kōun. At age 18, he became a disciple of Tsuda Shinobu. His style, which breathed new life into copper flower vases—often featuring classical forms like Tang ware—incorporated Art Deco elements. Together with his master Tsuda Shinobu, he led the modern metalworking world. In 1964, he was designated a Living National Treasure (Important Intangible Cultural Property Holder). His late-period circular vases, formed from rotating bodies, are particularly highly regarded.

This work also features an Art Deco-inspired vase shape with band-like grooves and pine needle motifs. It is a quintessential piece by him, where Western and Japanese designs are shaped in vermilion copper.
