About the Item

This is a very special low table that combines an old Japanese large board with a table base made from repurposed traditional Japanese drums. The top panel is made of cedar wood from the Taisho and early Showa periods (early 20th century), and has a deep texture that has naturally developed over the years. The surface is darkened by soot and age, but rest assured that it will not stain when touched by hand. The used wood surface gives a timeless taste and wabi-sabi beauty. The legs of the table are made of Japanese drums made in the Meiji period (late 19th century to early 20th century) in Japan. The year “Meiji” is still inscribed on the inside of the drum, indicating that it is a venerable material. The material used is mainly robust zelkova (zelkova) wood. In addition, this table base was once cut from a taiko drum and reused for other purposes, and it is highly likely that it has been placed outdoors under the eaves of the roof for many years, which has dried it out and given it a rough, powerful look. In addition, the iron studs that were driven into the table when it was made as a drum have been left in place, reminding us of its former appearance and creating a rhythmic design that gives the table's overall design a unique presence. Due to age, the tabletop has a slight warp along its length. To stabilize the tabletop and eliminate wobbling, urethane sheets have been added between the base and the top. Additionally, marker dots ("・" and "・・") have been applied to the underside of the tabletop and drum bases to indicate the correct alignment. When assembling, make sure the markers face outward for the most secure fit. It is rare to find a low table with such character and presence. Whether used as a statement piece in a modern interior or as a display platform for treasured vases, ceramics, or other collections, this table is sure to draw attention and admiration.

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.]
