Vintage Artisan Signed "TAZIMA" Modern Abstract Bronze Sculpture - Late Showa Era - 31cm

This is a powerful and atmospheric example of Showa Modernism in Japanese abstract sculpture, dating from the Late Showa Era (approx. 1970s-80s). This specific piece is the work of a skilled modern artisan, offering a vintage soul with contemporary craftsmanship, often favored for Zen or industrial interiors.

Key Highlights:

• Proof of Authenticity: As shown in Image11, the base is clearly impressed with the artisan's signature "TAZIMA", indicating a high-quality studio work.

• Modern Abstract Forms: The vertical "rising" form of the sculpture exemplifies the dynamic and geometric aesthetics of post-war Japanese art, blending Western modernism with a native sense of balance.

• Textural Mastery: Rhythmic horizontal throwing marks provide a wonderful tactile quality and an excellent feel in the hand. Natural kiln touches and variations create a dynamic visual landscape for the practitioner.

• Substantial Presence: At nearly 25 cm tall, it serves as a commanding standalone sculpture or a rustic vase.("Abstract Sculpture that complements floral arrangements")
