In Japan, the ichirin-zashi — a vase made for a single stem — is a quiet way of bringing the season indoors, where one flower is given room to be seen on its own. Compact in size, Tsubomi suits an entryway, a kitchen counter, a dining table, or the corner of a desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.5; font-weight: 500; color: rgba(2,9,18,0.85); margin: 40px 0 16px;\"\u003eHiroshi Taruta, a porcelain artist working in Seto\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.9; color: rgba(2,9,18,0.75); margin: 0 0 16px;\"\u003eHiroshi Taruta works from his studio in Seto, Aichi Prefecture — a city long celebrated for its pottery tradition, Seto ware (Seto-yaki). His choice to pursue linear Hotarude came from a desire to do what others do not. A turning point came in 2015, when he spent ten months in Europe. There, the same pieces that people in Japan had sometimes described as having a European quality were received as distinctly Japanese. Seeing his work labeled differently depending on who was looking and where, he began to ask what would make it unmistakably his own, and he found his answer in taking Hotarude as far as it could go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- 生産者リンクブロック --\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/byemotion-intl.com\/blogs\/meet-the-artisans\/hiroshi-taruta\" style=\"display: flex; align-items: center; gap: 20px; text-decoration: none; color: inherit; border-top: 1px solid rgba(2,9,18,0.15); border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(2,9,18,0.15); padding: 16px 0; margin: 24px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/3573\/7729\/files\/PARTNERS__2_c9177852-64c0-4241-b142-9f0fe1f8e69e.jpg?v=1775363750\" alt=\"\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"90\" width=\"90\" alt=\"Hiroshi Taruta, porcelain artist in Seto\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/3573\/7729\/files\/porcelain-artist-hiroshi-taruta.jpg?v=1778726566\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0.1em; text-transform: uppercase; color: rgba(2,9,18,0.45); margin: 0 0 4px;\"\u003emeet the artisans\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 15px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0 0 8px; letter-spacing: 0.04em;\"\u003eHiroshi Taruta\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 12px; color: rgba(2,9,18,0.45); margin: 0; letter-spacing: 0.06em; text-transform: uppercase;\"\u003eRead the brand story →\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-top: 1px solid rgba(2,9,18,0.1); padding-top: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 0.1em; text-transform: uppercase; color: rgba(2,9,18,0.4); margin: 0 0 12px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.8; color: rgba(2,9,18,0.65); margin: 0;\"\u003eArtist: Hiroshi Taruta\u003cbr\u003eSize 1: H 5.4 in (136 mm) × base Ø 1.6 in (40 mm)\u003cbr\u003eSize 2: H 4.6 in (118 mm) × base Ø 1.6 in (40 mm)\u003cbr\u003eSize 3: H 3.1 in (80 mm) × base Ø 1.4 in (36 mm)\u003cbr\u003eSize 4: H 4.3 in (110 mm) × base Ø 1.4 in (36 mm)\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Porcelain\u003cbr\u003eTechnique: Wheel-thrown, carved\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-top: 1px solid rgba(2,9,18,0.1); padding-top: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 0.1em; text-transform: uppercase; color: rgba(2,9,18,0.4); margin: 0 0 12px;\"\u003eShipping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.8; color: rgba(2,9,18,0.65); margin: 0;\"\u003eShips within 1 week · Shipping cost included in price\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-top: 1px solid rgba(2,9,18,0.1); padding-top: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 0.1em; text-transform: uppercase; color: rgba(2,9,18,0.4); margin: 0 0 12px;\"\u003eCare\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.8; color: rgba(2,9,18,0.65); margin: 0;\"\u003ePorcelain can chip or crack if knocked.
