rom our recent Japanese acquisitions

Original Japanese temple “blossoming lotus” flower bud stems form an attractive double bouquet. Made for a shrine altar, these flower blossoms and leaves symbolize the stages of the path toward enlightenment. The individual parts of each lotus is assembled and then joined in an arrangement of two stems and two bouquets and inserted into the vessel.

This lovely Japanese gilt Lotus flower double bouquet is a treasure that was originally placed on or around a personal or temple shrine or altar.

Each stem consists of eight individually crafted petals with good details and then gilded. The bronze vase is contemporary.
