This vase is made by a special casting method called 蝋型鋳造Rogatachi-chuzo(Wax mold casting).

蝋型鋳造Rogatachi-chuzo(Wax mold casting)
Make a prototype with beeswax (extracted from beehive) or wood wax (extracted from goby seeds) and pine resin, and wrap it in soil and bake at high temperature to melt the original wax and create a gap. Pour the melted metal in that gap.
蝋型鋳造Rogatachi-chuzo breaks the original prototype each time, so only one statue can be made from one mold, but it is feature in that it can produce works with complicated and precise molding.
