Japanese Antique Tree Root Side Table 1860s-1920s / Primitive Wabi Sabi
About the Item
This side table is made in Japan from old tree roots.
The roots are from the Meiji period (1860s-1920s).
The natural power of the root tree combined with glass offers a modern style.
The tree root is a rare, one-of-a-kind item.
This item evokes the spirit of wabi-sabi, the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection and impermanence.
It is a modest and humble beauty, the beauty of the unconventional, the opposite of vulgarity.
Weight 20 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 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.
