Japanese antique wooden low table covered with washi paper / Wabi-sabi workbench
About the Item
This wooden low table is a wonderful item with the charm unique to Japanese antiques. It was originally used as a work board and was probably used for a long time as a tool for cutting things on it. There are cut marks left in the center, and these marks tell a beautiful history as evidence of the good old days.
Zelkova wood is used for the wood, and this hard material has a heavy feel and the beauty of the wood grain stands out. The wood grain is flowing and flexible, and the natural texture is beautifully expressed. The wood grain of this board in particular is beautiful compared to others.
In addition, since the board originally had stains, old washi paper was pasted on those areas. The texture and antiquity of the washi paper create an attractive atmosphere that evokes wabi-sabi, and the overall appearance is very calm. The washi paper adds depth to this table and enhances its natural beauty.
Although it is low in height, it can be placed directly on the floor and used as a low table, and its simple design will blend in with any interior.
Although it is a single piece of wood, there is almost no warping of the wood, so it can be used stably and can be used for many years.
Such tasteful items are not easy to come by. This is a piece with a special atmosphere that can only be found in things that have been around for a long time. The unique texture created by the contrast between the texture of the wood and the washi paper gives it a charm that cannot be found in other furniture. It gives a sense of nostalgia, but at the same time, it has a presence that fits perfectly into modern life.
This table is not just a piece of furniture, but a presence that evokes a story of the past, and has a quiet, elegant beauty that I would definitely recommend.
