Japanese Antique Door 1860s-1920s / Wall Decoration Wabisabi

About the Item

This is a very old sliding door made in Japan. It is from the Meiji period (1860s-1920s). It is mainly made of cedar wood and bamboo, and reinforced with tin. This composition is very unique and looks like an abstract painting. You can actually use it, but please enjoy it as an art piece by hanging it on the wall. This is a very rare item with an aesthetic of "Wabi-Sabi". Weight 12kg. Since ancient times, people have created and passed down necessary tools from familiar materials to survive in the severe struggle against nature, and have nurtured a lifestyle and culture. By using these objects over a long period of time, they accumulate a flavor and reflect a way of life. The more severe the natural environment and the weaker we are, the stronger their power becomes. In today's world, where cheap and disposable products are encouraged, the act of repeatedly re-creating the things around us by modifying them opens up a new world. With this philosophy in mind, we collect beautiful, powerful, and unique carefully selected antiquities from Japan.
