Japanese Antique Galvanised Iron 1940s-1970s/Wall Decorations Wabi-Sabi Art

About the Item

This is an old Japanese tin object. This item is from the mid-Showa period (1940s-1970s). This tin was manufactured in large quantities during Japan's period of rapid economic growth. It seems to be different from modern tin. This tin found in a warehouse of an old private house has a unique appearance. I decided to take it back to my gallery and hang it on the wall. There is a hole to hang it on the wall. When hung on the wall, I feel that the slanting angle was the key to its beauty for me. The balance of the accidental rust seems to be exquisite, and it looks like an abstract painting. It is not something you can find by trying to find it. It is a unique and beautiful work of art for me. I hope you can share my feelings. Weight 3kg.

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.

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 have carefully selected beautiful, powerful, and unique Japanese antiques. This is an old wooden object...
