Old Japanese wooden wall hanging object/wooden mold/20th century

About the Item

This is an old Japanese wooden mold, probably made in the 20th century during the Showa period. I don't know what it was used for, but it has a unique texture as a traditional tool used in the old days. The mold is made of cedar and cypress wood, and the texture of the material is also one of its charms. It has a distinctive oval shape, and the protruding round parts are accents, giving the whole piece a soft impression. In addition, the surface has signs of use and scratches, giving it a sense of depth that only old things can have. These marks allow you to enjoy the beauty of aging over time. It has an interesting shape that resembles the face of the Giant God Warrior from the Japanese anime film Techno Castle Laputa, a Ghibli work. This wooden mold is characterized by its just-right size that fits easily into any room. It is not too big or too small, so it can be displayed anywhere, and it fits in well while still having a strong presence. It makes a great accent for display or as an interior item. As an interior item, it is an item that allows you to feel the technology and texture of Japan from the good old days. Why not add some color to your daily life while experiencing the unique charm of old wooden molds? Weight: Approx. 3.15 kg [We are a company consisting of four different stores with four different brands. We offer a wide range of attractive items from all over the world with a focus on Japanese items. We offer Japanese antique furniture and tools that are different from the Japanese antique furniture and art that have been appreciated abroad. These tools were used in private homes and farmhouses in the past. They have been passed through a long time and have an attractive taste. The reality is that many of these items are now being discarded along with the demolition of houses. We are on a mission to re-evaluate these fascinating old objects and preserve them for future generations. And we have seen tens of thousands of items so far. We have used that experience to list the most fascinating items here. We can do this because of our long experience. We will rediscover the "beauty" produced in the life and culture of the common people, which is different from the Japanese art and culture that is known and scattered around the world, and present it to the world. ]
