Shinon Wooden vase

Not directly, let us explain further.
Like many wood vases, Shinon is made from natural wood and should never be filled with water directly, as prolonged contact can cause swelling, staining, or long-term damage.
That’s why each wooden flower vase comes with a tailor-made plastic cylinder, designed to fit perfectly inside the opening. It measures about 15 cm (6 in) in length and 1.5 cm (0.6 in) in diameter, just enough to hold water for a single flower or a minimalist floral display.
For dried flowers or sculptural arrangements, you can use the vase on its own. But when using fresh flowers, always place the water inside the plastic insert only, keeping the wood safe and preserved.

Shinon works beautifully with both fresh and dried flowers.
Its slender form complements minimal ikebana-style arrangements, single stems, or small seasonal clusters.
For fresh flowers, we suggest using an inner container.
For dry or preserved blooms, the vase can be used directly as part of your decor vases collection.

Yes, and that’s part of its quiet beauty.
Crafted from premium Koyamaki (Japanese umbrella pine), praised for its fine grain wood, Shinon’s color slowly evolves over time, deepening in tone and gaining a soft, natural sheen. These gentle shifts are not imperfections, but signs of character.
In the context of japanese style home decor, such transformation is embraced. It reflects a deeper idea: that beauty lives in change, and that everyday objects grow more meaningful as they grow older with you.

Every Shinon vase is one of a kind.
Crafted in small batches from Koyamaki, a rare and sacred wood native to Japan, each piece reveals a unique pattern of grain, tone, and form. No molds, no mass production, just patient, human hands shaping something meant to last.
Attention is given to every detail: the curvature of the opening, the flow of the lines, the smoothness of the finish.
The name Shinon (槙音), meaning “the sound of pine,” reflects the poetic spirit of this object, a quiet echo of nature made visible through craft.
This isn’t just a wooden vase. It’s a singular expression of place, material, and time.

Absolutely, and that’s where its versatility shines.
Shinon’s minimalist silhouette and natural material make it a quiet companion to many interiors. Whether styled with dried stems or standing alone as sculpture, it brings warmth and balance wherever it’s placed.
In biophilic design home decor, where natural elements are used to restore calm and connection, Shinon fits effortlessly, adding a living texture to the space. And in Japandi living rooms, where Japanese simplicity meets Scandinavian softness, it becomes a natural accent: subtle, warm, and unmistakably refined.
Its form may be traditional, but its presence is timeless.

Yes, especially if you're looking for something personal, lasting, and beautifully uncommon.
Each Shinon vase is handcrafted from natural Japanese wood, with grain patterns that are never repeated.
That makes it an ideal choice for anniversaries, housewarmings, or meaningful moments, especially as part of a refined selection of wooden gifts.
It’s also a thoughtful option for wood anniversary gifts, where the value lies not just in the material, but in the intention behind it. And while it naturally complements a Japandi home, a style that blends Japanese elegance and Scandinavian warmth, its appeal goes far beyond trends.
This is a gift that becomes part of someone’s story.

While glass and ceramic are common, a wooden vase like Shinon offers something different: warmth, texture, and emotional depth. It doesn’t just sit in a room, it softens it.
Made from natural wood, it brings a living material into your home, where no two pieces are ever alike.
