It has a strong presence and accents a space just by being placed there.

Since ancient times, people have created and passed down necessary tools from familiar materials and nurtured a lifestyle culture in order to survive in the severe struggle against nature.
By using these objects over a long period of time, they accumulate a flavor and reflect a way of life.
In today’s world, where cheap and disposable items 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 collect beautiful, powerful, and unique carefully selected antiquities from Japan.Dimensions: Height: 18.9 in (48 cm)Width: 21.86 in (55.5 cm)Depth: 16.34 in (41.5 cm)Style: Meiji (Of the Period)Materials and Techniques: Cedar,Iron,Wood,WoodworkPlace of Origin: JapanPeriod: Early 20th CenturyDate of Manufacture: 1860s-1900sCondition: GoodWear consistent with age and use.Seller Location: Sammu-shi, JPReference Number: 1stDibs: LU5487241958862
