About the Item
This primitive-style armchair is steeped in Japanese tradition and aesthetics.
It was created in the Meiji and Taisho periods (1860s-1920s) for its powerful yet delicate beauty.
Boldly carved from a large zelkova tree, the chair exudes an unwavering presence that only natural wood can provide.
The traces of handwork on the seat and backrest tell us that this chair is not just a piece of furniture, but a work of sculpture.
From every angle, the powerful flow of the wood grain catches the eye and creates a quiet tension in the space.
The furniture is in surprisingly good condition for being over 100 years old, with no insect damage or major damage.
Its appearance is imbued with the spirit of Japanese “wabi-sabi,” and it evokes beauty in imperfection rather than perfection.
It is recommended as an art piece and as a leg to enhance a calm space.
Weight: Approx. 40kg

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.
