Japanese Old Stone "Elderly Priest" / Sculpture Wabi Sabi

About the Item

Since ancient times, people have created and passed down necessary tools from familiar materials to survive in the severe struggle against nature, and have nurtured a lifestyle culture. By using these objects over a long period of time, they accumulate their flavor and reflect the way of life. The more severe the natural environment and the weaker we are, the stronger their power becomes. In today's world, where cheap and disposable products are encouraged, the act of repeatedly re-creating the things around us by modifying them opens up a new world. With this philosophy in mind, we collect beautiful, powerful, and unique carefully selected antiquities from Japan. These stones were collected in Shizuoka Prefecture (Tokai region) in Japan. This is a nationally renowned stone producing area. It is only about 50 km long, but because of its steep slope, it is said to produce a wide variety of stones that are good for appreciation. This stone has a very rare shape like an old monk. Weight 4kg
