About the Item

We have an aesthetic sense peculiar to Japanese people. And we introduce the unique items that only we can do, the route of purchasing in Japan, the experience value so far, and the way that no one can imitate. It is a candlestick that is thought to have been built around the Meiji-Taisho period (1868-1926) in Japan. It is a very beautiful model. In the latter half of the Edo period (1780-1820), there were parents and children of craftsmen who made copper candlesticks in the area of ??Beppu in Gifu prefecture (near Kyoto). The parent-child work incorporates nets, ropes, ladders, fishing gear, fish, shellfish, etc. into the design to create a work that expresses the lives of farmers and fishermen. This is now called "Beppu work". And I think this item is a work that imitates the Beppu work. In the original Beppu work, people and fish are generally included in this candlestick as a design. However, this is only the design of nets and ropes used by fishermen. It is also made using a technique that uses a wax pattern. Make a prototype of a candlestick using a mixture of beeswax and pine fat. After that, it is hardened with sand, covered with soil, the wax is melted by heat and washed away, and copper is poured into the cavity. It takes time, and it is a valuable item that can only be made from one prototype. Don't you think it's a very attractive work? The size is also large, so it is powerful. And it harmonizes with any space. There are no defects and the condition is good. It is a candlestick with a design that is rare in Japan. Highly recommended! Also, I want many people to know the goodness of Japanese antiques, so the price is set very reasonable. Why don't you show off to your friends around you? Weight: 2 kg.
