Cast in bronze, the work\u003cbr\u003etakes the form of a compact lidded vessel with sharply defined architectural lines and\u003cbr\u003ea deeply patinated exterior. The vertical striations carved into the sides evoke the\u003cbr\u003eappearance of weathered wood or carved stone, creating a tactile contrast against\u003cbr\u003ethe smoother lid and interior surfaces.\u003cbr\u003eThe bronze surface displays warm reddish-brown and dark umber tones, while the\u003cbr\u003einterior is finished with a luminous gilt treatment that introduces a striking visual\u003cbr\u003econtrast when opened. The restrained proportions and understated elegance reflect\u003cbr\u003eHatakeyama’s sculptural approach, balancing functionality with quiet monumentality.\u003cbr\u003eThe piece is accompanied by its original signed wooden storage box (tomobako),\u003cbr\u003esigned cloth, and documentation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4.7cm(h) x 6.5cm(w) x 4.8cm(d)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFootnote\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoji Hatakeyama (畠山耕治, b. 1956) is a Japanese metal artist born in\u003cbr\u003eToyama Prefecture.
