Inspired by an ancient Japanese game Bou-Toshi, designer Yukihiro Kaneuchi has created these elegant series of vases made from sand and resin. These vases made of sand are shaped according to the principles of the game.
“The game is simple. First, players make a heap of sand and place a pole in the centre. Then each player takes turns removing sand, the one who causes the pole to fall loses,” explains the artist. “Here, the pole is transformed to a glass tube – time stopped with resin. The shape nears collapse, bringing a tension and delicate beauty to the flower.”
