About the Item

This is an old Japanese tin. It has been lying in this condition in an old warehouse for many years. Judging from the texture and feel, it is estimated to have been manufactured in the early Showa period (1920s-1940s). Corrugated iron sheets, or corrugated tin, have long been used in Japanese architectural culture. It is a valuable material that is now disappearing. This corrugated iron sheet naturally folds over the years, accidentally creating a unique three-dimensional appearance like a sculptural work of art. The beauty of the form, which transcends artificial intentions, has a strong impact on the viewer. The rust pattern spreading across the surface of the piece has an abstract painting-like quality. The red rust blends with the silver color of the remaining zinc, creating a one-of-a-kind landscape woven by the aging process. The accumulation of all these coincidences has resulted in this beautiful object. It can be displayed in any way you like. It can be placed on the floor or hung on the wall. The great charm of this work is that it shows a completely different expression depending on the way it is placed. It can be said that this is a piece in which the spirit of “wabi sabi” dwells. Weight: 3 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.
