Japanese Old Copper Drop Object 1940s-1960s / Figurine Wabi Sabi

About the Item

This object is a stack of old Japanese copper drops. Item dates from the mid-Showa period (1940s-1960s). This type of object sometimes occurs when copper drops naturally accumulate and harden during the casting process at copper refineries. 'Accidental beauty.' This has a presence that is so beautiful and inexpressible. A very rare object with a wabi-sabi sensibility. Weight 2 kg.
