Japanese Antique Long Low Table 1860s-1920s / Sofa Table Wabi Sabi

About the Item

This account consists of five companies, As for me, I specialize in Japanese antiques and select carefully selected items. With my 20 years of experience, I propose new Japanese antiques from my unique point of view. This is a very old low table made in Japan. The furniture is from the Meiji period (1860s-1920s). It is made of cedar wood. The design has been stripped down to the bare minimum. It is sophisticated. The grain of the cedar on the top surface is also beautiful. It appears to be very delicately constructed, but it does not wobble and is solid. This item evokes the spirit of wabi-sabi, the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection and impermanence. It is a modest and humble beauty, an unconventional beauty, the opposite of vulgarity. It is unique and extremely rare. It weighs 5.5 kg. Since ancient times, people have created and inherited necessary tools from familiar materials to survive in the severe struggle against nature, and have nurtured a lifestyle culture. Over a long period of use, objects accumulate a certain flavor and reflect a way of life. In today's world, where cheap and disposable products are encouraged, the act of repeatedly re-creating things around us by modifying them opens up a new world. With this philosophy in mind, we carefully select and collect beautiful, powerful, and unique Japanese antiques.
