About the Item

This is an old mirror made in Japan. It is a one-of-a-kind piece made in the Taisho period (1900s-1920s) and still retains its beautiful appearance despite the passage of almost 100 years. The frame is made of Japanese cedar wood. The surface is carefully coated with black lacquer, giving it a moist luster and a deep look. The frame is decorated with chrysanthemum flowers, which subtly expresses the traditional beauty of Japan. The chrysanthemum has been a symbol of longevity and integrity since ancient times, and has been used as the crest of the imperial family. The mirror surface remains as it was in the original period, and although there are some scratches and dings, they accentuate the antique character of the piece. You can rest assured that it will photograph well enough for practical use. A wire has already been attached to the back so that it can be immediately hung on the wall. A rare piece that retains most of its original materials and finish. Weight: 7.5 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.
