Japanese Antique Wooden Plant Cover 1920s-1940s / Object Wabi Sabi
About the Item
This is a very old plant cover made in Japan.
It is from the early Showa period (1920s-1940s).
It is carved from a large zelkova tree.
It is hand-carved and carefully crafted.
The best thing about it is the beautiful grain of the zelkova wood on the surface.
Today, zelkova is a very expensive and precious material.
This item reminds me of the spirit of Wabisabi, 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.
This is a unique and very rare item.
Size of opening: approx. 340 mm.
Weight 8.5 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.
