Vase

Tsuruzawa Tanzan

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two identical vases side by side. The vases, titled "Vase" by Tsuruzawa Tanzan, are bulbous with a narrow top and a wide body. The vases have a wide mouth and a short neck. They are decorated with a pattern of black designs on a light-colored background. The designs appear to be a combination of floral and vine motifs. The vases are sitting on a flat surface, with a plain wall behind them. The image is in black and white.
