Japanese Antique Dough Board Wall Art 1879s / Display Stand Wabi Sabi
About the Item
This is an old noodle board made in Japan.
On the back, it is inscribed “明治十二年” in writing, clearly indicating that it was made in 1879s.
Over 140 years have passed, and this piece still has a beautiful and powerful presence.
Made of light and sturdy cedar wood, it is a practical tool that was actually used in daily life at the time.
In the Meiji period, noodle boards were used as a worktable for making soba and udon noodles by hand, and were one of the indispensable cooking tools in the home.
This board also retains traces of the many times it was touched by hand, the flour was spread on it, and the rolling pin was rolled on it.
The years of use and aging have carved a deep flavor into the surface, giving it the beauty of an abstract painting.
This is not an artifice, but an “accidental beauty” that is naturally created through the accumulation of daily life.
Its quiet yet powerful presence naturally stands out in a space.
Weighing only 7.5 kg, it is relatively lightweight and recommended to be hung on the wall as an art piece.
As a form that transcends its intended use, it is a fun way to incorporate the beauty of time and materials into everyday life.
Just by being there, you can feel the serenity and weight of time, and the spirit of wabi-sabi resides in this gem.
Weight: 7.5 kg

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.
