About the Item
A huge sliding door used in a very old warehouse made in Japan.

It is constructed mainly of cedar wood, with straw wrapped around a cedar board in the center.
The central handle is made of iron.
Originally covered with plaster and earth, it has peeled away with age to reveal a very beautiful, artless base.
It is truly like an abstract painting.
It is light in weight and recommended to be displayed on the wall as an art piece.
This item evokes the spirit of wabi-sabi, the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection and impermanence.
It is the opposite of vulgarity, the beauty of modesty and modesty, the beauty of the unconventional.
This is a unique and very rare item.
Weight 17 kg.
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 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.
