About the Item

This is an old Japanese wooden board called “Mochiita” (rice cake board). It was used during the Meiji period (1860s-1900s) and is made of pine wood with a rich texture. As the name suggests, the mochi board was a tool used for stretching and cutting rice cakes after pounding them. It was one of the utilitarian tools that were indispensable in Japanese households and craftsmen's workplaces in the past. Over the years of use, it has created a beautiful landscape that resembles an abstract painting. This is an “accidental beauty” that cannot be reproduced artificially, and is the result of time and use. The reverse side also has its own character, with each side having a different flavor. We recommend hanging it on the wall as an art piece, but its powerful presence also stands out when used as a display stand or base, as shown in the photo. It is also an excellent background to complement sculptures and vessels. Even in decay, it is still beautiful - the very spirit of “wabi sabi”. The memory of its use quietly enriches the space. Weight: 12 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.
