About the Item
This is an old low table made in Japan. It was made between the Meiji and Taisho periods (1860s-1920s) and is a piece of traditional craftsmanship and aesthetics.
The material used is luxurious zelkova wood, and its powerful yet delicate grain is beautifully expressed in the top and legs. The rich expression and smooth texture unique to zelkova will deepen as it is used more and more. The vitality of the natural material and its time-worn texture are in perfect harmony.
The gentle warping of the legs and the beveled edges show the skill and aesthetics of Japanese craftsmen in every detail. Particularly eye-catching is the openwork design on the sides. The intricate carvings interwoven in a lattice pattern boast a level of perfection that can truly be described as craft-like. While decorative, this is also a functional design that takes ventilation and lightness into consideration.
The black spots and small holes on the top and legs are not caused by insect bites, but by the grain and knots of the zelkova wood itself. The natural look of the wood has been preserved, and it is an element that deepens the flavor of the piece.
The condition of the piece is very good, and while it shows its age, there is no wobble or major damage. The solid construction and high quality of the materials used make this a piece of furniture that can still be used for practical purposes.
While it has a Japanese design, the overall impression is very modern. It blends naturally with both Japanese and Western-style rooms, as well as with contemporary interiors, and adds a quiet presence to any space.
This one-of-a-kind low table combines Japanese tradition, the power of materials, and refined formative beauty into one. As both a practical product and a piece of art, it is a product to be proud of in the world.

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.
