This piece shows the spirit of Wabi-sabi, the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection and impermanence.
It is the opposite of vulgarity, a beauty that is understated, modest, and unconventional.
This is a unique and very rare item.
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.
Through long use, they accumulate flavor and reflect a person’s way of life.
The harsher the natural environment and the weaker the human being, the stronger the power of the tool.
In today’s world, where cheap and disposable products are encouraged, the act of repeatedly modifying and re-creating the things around us opens up a new world.
With this philosophy in mind, we carefully select and collect Japanese antiques that are beautiful, powerful, and unique.Dimensions: Height: 23.63 in (60 cm)Width: 34.65 in (88 cm)Depth: 17.72 in (45 cm)Style: Meiji (Of the Period)Materials and Techniques: CedarPlace of Origin: JapanPeriod: Early 20th CenturyDate of Manufacture: 1860s-1900sCondition: GoodWear consistent with age and use.Seller Location: Sammu-shi, JPReference Number: 1stDibs: LU5487243022962
