Japanese Antique Tree Object 1900s-1940s / Wabi Sabi

About the Item

Since ancient times, people have created and inherited necessary tools from familiar materials to survive in the severe struggle against nature, and have nurtured a lifestyle culture. Over the years, tools acquire a distinctive flavor and reflect the way of life. The more severe the natural environment and the weaker we are, the stronger the power of tools 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 have carefully selected beautiful, powerful, and unique Japanese antiques. This is an old wooden object made in Japan. It was collected in the early Showa period (1900s-1940s). The material is pine. The shape is very special. It is also shiny and has a texture as if it were not wood. Just by placing it, it creates a special atmosphere. It is a rare piece with a wabi-sabi aesthetic. Weight 3.5kg.
