About the Item
This is an old female sculpture made in Japan.
It is estimated to have been made in the late Showa period (1960s-1980s).
The material used seems to be lauan wood, and the gentle expression of the wood grain gives the entire sculpture a natural warmth.
The calm face with closed eyes gives the impression of quietly calming the viewer's mind and making him or her feel gentle.
The entire surface is beautifully marked with machete marks, and the shadows created by the carved marks accentuate the sculptural appeal of the piece, which transcends the framework of a wood sculpture. The texture of the piece, which is not smooth, seems to convey a sense of humanity and the artist's breath.
It also has a mysterious power to create a soft atmosphere in a space, despite its dignified presence. Because it shows different expressions depending on the lighting and background, it will look great in a gallery space or even in a quiet corner of your home.
Although the work is by an unknown artist, it is not only valuable as a decorative piece, but also has a deep appeal as an art piece.
It is a unique and rare piece that stands out for its one-of-a-kind presence.
Weight: 8.5 kg

Our Philosophy
Objects always tell the truth.
All I can do is just to face with them sincerely and give
them deep affection as much as I can.
There is no boundary of nationalities and of eras in beauty.
But I think now is the time we choose 'Japanese style' and it
will be the best way to remind us of what we are losing
today and to question us about an essence of beauty again.
I hope that you can touch the memories which the objects here have,
feel and think of something invisible but exists undoubtedly.
