About the Item

This is an iron plate sliding door made in Japan. It is a rare door made in the Meiji period (1860s-1900s), and the craftsmanship of the time still lives on today. The structure is made of thick iron plates laminated to a cedar wood frame, giving it a sense of solidity and presence. Over the years, the surface of the iron plate has rusted beautifully, giving it the appearance of artwork created by nature. This texture is something that only the passage of time can give, and gives it a depth and flavor that cannot be found in newer models. It is in very good condition for a sliding door from the Meiji period and can be used as an actual door. It can also be used as a table top on its side to add a Japanese essence and vintage flavor to a space. The spirit of “wabi-sabi” resides in this piece. Tranquility, age, and the beauty of imperfection make it more than just a fixture. Weight : Approx. 80kg ________________________________________________ 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.
