About the Item

This is a board and a wooden box that were used in Japan from the Meiji period to the early Showa period. These two can be combined to make a low table. The tabletop is made of either cedar or pine. The base is made of cedar (a traditional wood that has been used in Japan for a long time). The grain of the tabletop has become uneven and raised due to long-term aging. It is smooth to the touch and feels good to the touch. And in Japanese, this type of wood grain is called "Uki-zukuri". It is possible to express it artificially to a certain extent, but it is not possible to express a natural texture like this. There is also a thin area around the corner of the tabletop. Please see the 9th detailed image. I don't think there is any problem in use. The wooden box of the table base is lacquered black. The design is simple, which helps to highlight the tabletop. There is no wobble. The size is not too big or too small. Can be used as a sofa table or side table. Weight Tabletop: 14.55kg Table base: 2.75kg Tabletop thickness: 3.5cm-4.8cm Year of manufacture: 1868-1940 [We, Brood, are a company consisting of four different stores with four different brands. We offer a wide range of attractive items from all over the world with a focus on Japanese items. We offer Japanese antique furniture and tools that are different from the Japanese antique furniture and art that have been appreciated abroad. These tools were used in private homes and farmhouses in the past. They have been passed through a long time and have an attractive taste. The reality is that many of these items are now being discarded along with the demolition of houses. We are on a mission to re-evaluate these fascinating old objects and preserve them for future generations. And we have seen tens of thousands of items so far. We have used that experience to list the most fascinating items here. We can do this because of our long experience. We will rediscover the "beauty" produced in the life and culture of the common people, which is different from the Japanese art and culture that is known and scattered around the world, and present it to the world. ]
