About the Item
Beautiful antique rice holder from Sumatra, hand carved from a single piece of wood. Perfect for holding firewood, towels by a pool or magazines. Standing up it can be used as a small screen. So many options for this one of a kind piece. Circa 1950. Full dimensions; 40″ x 16” expanding to 19″ wide x 16” high when used as a container or 40” high if used as a screen.
This container was hand made in the spirit of Wabi-Sabi, a Japanese philosophy that beauty can be found in imperfection and impermanence. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. A beauty of things unconventional. It is the opposite of vulgarity. The costs of achieving this kind of minimalism are seemingly inconsistent with its mission of aesthetic humility. This kind of luxury is for a select few: The Emperor of Japan had a Wabi garden. Wabi is for people who already have a lot.
