Antique Iron Shell 1900s-1940s / Flower Vase Object Wabisabi
About the Item
Very old iron cylinder.
Presumed to be a shell dropped on Japan during the war.
The period is believed to be from the 1900s to the 1940s.
Some time after it was dropped, this cylinder was discovered.
This shell, which has now become a beautiful object, tells us about its history.
"We must not repeat the same mistakes."
This item reminds us of the spirit of wabi-sabi, the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection and impermanence.
It is the beauty of modesty and modesty, the beauty of the unconventional, the opposite of vulgarity.
This is a unique and very rare item.
Weight approx. 20 kg.
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 a flavor and reflect a 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.
