About the Item
This is an old copper tub made in Japan.
It was made during the Edo period (1800s-1860s) and used as a tool to draw water from a well.
This tool is one of the tools of daily life that have been used for a long time in Japanese life.
Although originally intended to be hung, today they are also popular as interior decorations and art pieces.
Even when placed without being hung, its presence and quiet beauty are fully appreciated.
It has a unique texture, showing that it has been repaired many times over the years and used with care.
Chips, distortions, and even the dullness of the surface tell the story of the time this utensil has spent.
The beauty of decay symbolizes the spirit of “wabi-sabi,” which is uniquely Japanese.
It is precisely because it is not perfect that it is so captivating, and that is the charm that resides in this item.
Weight: 4 kg for the tub, 1.5 kg for the chain.

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.
