Water Vessel
¥22,000
Water is the source of life, a vital component of all manner of things. In places of prayer, water has been cherished since ancient times as an offering to deities and departed souls. It is an indispensable element in the sacred spaces created by Home Sanctuary's products.
The Water Vessel is a water container with a rugged presence, reminiscent of molten glass. Its unique appearance is crafted using a technique known as trompe-l'œil, whose popularity spread in France in the 19th and 20th centuries. When water is poured into this vessel, it shines beautifully in harmony with the textured glass.
Water Vessel is designed by Shinya Kakiuchi, a glassblower based in Oda, Shimane Prefecture. Kakiuchi, who previously had no connection to glassworking, was inspired by an encounter with a particular artwork. He then built his own kiln and honed his skills through self-instruction.
This crafted item, infused with Kakiuchi's creativity, takes on an even more sacred ambiance with the addition of a traditional Japanese craft logo of KANAZAWA leaf, engraved on the bottom. Filling the Water Vessel with water as an offering and gazing at its radiance clears the mind and directs the heart towards prayer.
