About the Item

This is an old Japanese tin panel. The rust caused by natural aging is expressed like art. The exact purpose is unknown, but it seems that it was originally used in a place where fish were handled, and this tin panel was used as a tabletop and filled with water. Therefore, a groove is made in one of the four corners to allow water to drain. A series of coincidences due to the usage environment, such as the location where water accumulates, caused rust to form over a long period of time, and this design was born. This is a one-of-a-kind piece of art. By hanging it on the wall like an abstract painting, you can incorporate the beauty of natural aging into your interior. Weight: 18.6kg
