About the Item
This wooden display stand/stool was made in Japan around the 20th century. It's believed to be made from solid, solid zelkova (keyaki) wood, exuding a strong grain and sturdy texture throughout. It was carved from the base of a tree's roots or a thick branch, highlighting the unusual, distorted shapes naturally created, while at the same time exuding an organic, intricate beauty.
It's an excellent display stand for small vases or artefacts, and incorporating it into your interior will add a unique presence to any space. While its shape may appear disproportionate, it can actually be used as a stool.
However, the seat is small (28cm x 19.5cm), so you may find it tiring to sit on for long periods of time.
It will create a striking contrast in a modern room, and blend seamlessly with nature in a traditional Japanese space, creating a tranquil yet powerful presence.
In the video, the overall color tone may appear slightly whitish under natural light, but in reality it is a calming matte black base, with a deep luster acquired over time.
Due to its unusual shape, the stool may be prone to tipping depending on the sitting position, but it feels stable when seated in the position shown at the end of the video.
The design evokes a strong sense of wabi-sabi, something that can never be achieved through artificial processing, and has an impressive presence, as if it were cut straight from the life force of a tree rooted in the earth.
Stools that make use of natural shapes like this are rarely found on the market, making them extremely rare items. They make a statement even when displayed as an object, and can be enjoyed in a variety of ways depending on the user's sensibilities. Don't miss this opportunity to get your hands on one and enjoy their vibrant charm.

[Our Social Role]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are a specialized team dealing in antiques and vintage items, comprised of stores based on three distinct brands. While focusing on Japanese items, we also offer a carefully curated selection of attractive goods from around the world—each evoking the culture and history of its country of origin.
Unlike the traditional Japanese antique furniture and art that have been appreciated overseas until now, we shine a light on the tools and furniture that were used for many years in ordinary Japanese homes and farmhouses. These objects have gained a unique charm over time, their beauty deepened by the history accumulated through daily life. In today’s world, however, many of these precious items are discarded during home demolitions. We are committed to reassessing their value and passing them on to future generations.
Drawing from our extensive experience—having seen tens of thousands of items through direct purchases, markets, and auction houses—we carefully select and present only the most captivating pieces. This is something made possible only through the years of knowledge and expertise we have cultivated.
Rather than focusing on the widely known facets of Japanese art and culture, we highlight the subtle beauty born from the everyday life of common people. It is this rediscovered beauty, steeped in history, that we strive to share with the world.
