Japanese Antique Table Lamp 1920s-1940s / Table Lighting Wabisabi

About the Item

This is a very old table lamp made in Japan. This lamp is from the early Showa period (1920s-1940s). It is made of iron and brass. The shade is made of glass. The lean design is very modern. It is elaborately made by utilizing various metal materials. This is a rare lighting that is not produced today. The wiring is to Japanese specifications. If used in the U.S., the wiring will need to be changed. Professional electricians can easily change it. Weight 3 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 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.
