About the Item
A charming antique Japanese wooden ball toy, hand-carved with a striking radial design. Crafted from richly toned wood with beautifully aged patina, it embodies both the simplicity and quiet refinement characteristic of traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
Historically used as a child’s toy or decorative object, it offers a tactile, sculptural quality that adds understated character to shelves, desks, or curated vignettes. A subtle yet distinctive accent piece for collectors of Japanese folk art and wabi-sabi interiors.
