The asymmetrical form is crafted from rich walnut wood, accentuating the natural grain and warm tones of the material. A circular cut-out in the design adds to the sense of balance and movement, perfectly suited for a minimalist ikebana arrangement.

Signed on the underise in Kanji, 柑山 translates to something like “Citrus Mountain” or simply “Kayama”, which is likely a name, either the artist’s or a studio’s name. less
