Japanese Large Iron Plate Abstract Art 1900s-1940s / Wall decoration Wabi Sabi

About the Item

This is a door that was an iron plate door made in Japan. It is an old fixture made in the early Showa period (1900s-1940s), with iron plates carefully stretched over a cedar wood frame. Over the years, the surface of the iron plate has been covered with beautiful rust, giving it the look of an abstract painting. It is a work of art that cannot be reproduced artificially, and is depicted by the passage of time. This iron plate door is a one-of-a-kind piece that evokes the “beauty of coincidence” and reflects the spirit of “wabi-sabi,” which is unique to Japan. It is in the process of decay that genuine beauty resides. We hope that those with such sensibilities will pick up this item. Please hang it on the wall and enjoy it as art. It will bring serenity and depth to your space, and you will discover a new expression every time you look at it. Weight: 14 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.
