One piece. Three segments. One waist.

Wagatsuma-san's Tsubaki No. 10 is turned from a single piece of camellia wood – and yet appears like three stacked forms, connected by a wasp-like constriction. This waist is not a decorative element. It is proof of exceptional craftsmanship – almost impossible to believe that the wood was never divided.

Strong brush drawing in red and black runs from the raw base up to the crown.

Camellia wood, turned entirely by hand. One of a kind.

  • Height: approx. 20 cm
