Japanese Antique Natural Wood Object 1900s-1940s / Wabisabi

About the Item

Believe it or not, this is actually a tree. This is a natural pine tree object that makes use of the form created by nature as it is. It is estimated to have been collected in the mountains in the early Showa period (1900s to 1940s), and is a miraculous form created by nature over a long period of time. The three protruding shapes are like a work of sculpture, stirring the viewer's imagination. It has not been painted or otherwise processed, and its bare appearance has been preserved. However, there is a possibility that a very slight polish has been applied to the wood due to its unique luster. The smooth skin and intricate curves unique to natural wood attract the viewer's attention. Its appearance is unique and one-of-a-kind, and it is truly a work of art. It is a presence that adds a quiet and strong character to a space. Weight: 3.5 kg _____________________________________ Our Philosophy Objects always tell the truth. All I can do is just to face with them sincerely and give them deep affection as much as I can. There is no boundary of nationalities and of eras in beauty. But I think now is the time we choose 'Japanese style' and it will be the best way to remind us of what we are losing today and to question us about an essence of beauty again. I hope that you can touch the memories which the objects here have, feel and think of something invisible but exists undoubtedly.
