Hisatoshi Iwata Bamboo-Shaped Glass Vase “Hitofushi” with Original Wooden Box

A striking bamboo-shaped glass vase, this piece is titled Issetsu ("single node") and comes from celebrated Japanese glass artist Hisatoshi Iwata. The design captures the clean, segmented form of a bamboo stalk, rendered in clear, heavy glass with sculptural precision.

Iwata is one of the defining names in modern Japanese studio glass, known for turning natural motifs like bamboo into refined, geometric works. Bamboo itself carries deep meaning in Japanese art, symbolizing resilience and elegance, and here that spirit is translated into a quiet, contemporary form.

This vase is brand new and unused, and comes complete with its original wooden box (tomobako), adding authenticity and display value for collectors of fine Japanese glasswork. It's a rare chance to bring home a piece by one of Japan's leading studio glass artists.
