Japanese Wooden block table /wabi-sabi coffee table/1900s〜

About the Item

About This table was made from a mortar that was used to pound rice cakes in ancient times. The mortar made from Zelkova wood is very heavy and sturdy. Rather than being shaped like a typical mortar, this unusual mortar has a rounded cavity resembling a flower vase, with a wooden top embedded into the cavity. The black color of the tabletop has a glossy black hue similar to lacquer and a hairline finish. The surface of the mortar has changed over the years and appears to be chipped and not uniform, but it is not rotten and the material can still be used without any problems. Wabi inspirations Mortar / A container used when pounding grains, rice cakes, etc. with a pestle. Items are placed inside and pounded. ※ The pestle for pounding rice cakes shown in some of the photos is not included with the product. Weight: 60 kg.
