About the Item

A Japanese antique wooden bowl dating from the 1910s–1940s. Once used in daily life as a functional folk craft, the piece is hand-carved from a solid block of wood—its exact species unknown, yet clearly chosen for its strength and durability. The bowl bears the gentle distortions typical of traditional handwork, with an organic, slightly irregular shape that reflects the rhythm of the maker’s hands. Both the interior and exterior surfaces are marked by countless tool traces, giving the piece a tactile honesty and a strong sense of human presence. Cracks appear in several areas, a natural result of aging in solid wood. Rather than detracting from its appeal, these features enhance the bowl’s character, embodying the quiet beauty of timeworn materials and the wabi-sabi spirit. Additional antique furniture and decorative objects sourced from across Japan are also available upon request.
