Contemporary Japanese Chochin Floor Lamp Limited Edition #2 Zen Washi
Located in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo
Name: OBAKE UN
Contemporary style Japanese Washi Japanese traditional paper shade floor lamp. Washi shade is famous as Isamu Noguchi Akari lightings.
Base is made of brass. Limited pattern painted model. Edition of 3+1AP
E26,27 light bulb.
Available to work with 100-250V.
Artist statement
In Japan, there is an animist belief that the soul dwells in old tools that have passed a long time and turns into spirits such as "Youkai" or "OBAKE." Its existence lurks in the darkness of everyday life, sometimes causing fear and sometimes entertaining.
This lantern is not an old tool, but it is made by the historic "Kojima Shoten", where the 10th generation are craftsmen in Kyoto. It's rare nowadays, and it's a style in which lanterns are made from bamboo bones to assembling papers and painting in one workshop and go. So, I decided to transform the polite crafted Japanese lanterns, which have been run through a traditional history, into a modern and pop style. It's not just OBAKE lurking in the darkness, but an existence who snuggles up to us as a more sophisticated being.
These one-eyed OBAKE have a meaningful look that originated in ancient Sanskrit culture. The red-eye "A [a]" is the facial expression that is the first pronunciation to make a sound in Sanskrit, which means "truth" and "spirit of inquiry" at the same time. The blue-eyed "UN [hu?]" expresses the pronunciation to close the sound, and at the same time means "wisdom" and "nirvana." There is also the idea that describing the beginning and end of the universe is represented by considering the "A" and "UN" as a pair. In Asia, it is a common sight to see a pair of guardian statues...

Pair of Chinese Courtyard Doors with Iron Butterflies, c. 1850
Located in Chicago, IL
This imposing set of doors dates to the mid-19th century and once enclosed the inner courtyard of a Qing-dynasty home in northern China. The double doors are crafted of northern elm (yumu), a common hardwood appreciated for its strength, warm coloring and expressive grain.
The fronts are reinforced with iron bands studded with brass hobnails and decorated with hard-worked iron plates with a foliated design. A square lock plate secures two round door pulls and a simple door latch, engraved with an everlasting knot, lotus blossoms, and ornamental koi. Little iron butterflies flit across the front, auspicious symbols of blessings, happiness and longevity. The monumental doors...
