About the Item

This is an old Japanese wooden work board. The wood is cedar, and due to long-term use, the black color around the edges remains, and the color has peeled off only in the middle. There are marks like cuts on the surface. It seems to be a work of art that expresses the beauty of the changes that occur through continued use by human hands. Because of its small size, it is also good for a tabletop display table. It will enhance the items you display. You can also take advantage of the vertical shape and hang it on the wall. You can display it on the wall with the traces of long-term use as a background, and create the beauty of wabi-sabi in the space. Weight: 2kg
