About the Item
This is an old carved wooden dog made in Japan.
It was produced in the late Showa period (1950s-1970s) and is made of zelkova wood, which has a beautiful grain. The robust and expressive zelkova wood creates deep shades in the carving, giving the work a unique presence.
This work is not painted at all, and the texture and warmth of the wood itself can be felt as it is. It has a simple yet sophisticated impression, and exudes dignity in a quiet way.
The most distinctive feature of this work is its abstract form. Facial expressions and details are kept to a minimum, and the soft, rounded form is impressive. The minimalist beauty of the modeling also has a somewhat humorous and friendly feel to it. It is a work with a blank space that seems to accept the viewer's imagination.
It harmonizes with any space, whether Japanese or Western, and blends naturally into modern interiors.
Weight: 600g.

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.
