Japanese Antique Low Table (Zataku), Meiji Era (1868–1912), Wabi Sabi
Located in Hitachiomiya-shi, 08
This antique low table was crafted in the Meiji Era (1868–1912) from Japanese sugi (cedar) wood, finished with Urushi (traditional Japanese lacquer).
This elegant low table embodies the essence of Japanese living, designed for use while seated on tatami mats or the floor—a practice rooted in centuries of tradition. Crafted from sugi, a softwood prized for its warm grain and natural resilience, the table is finished in deep black Urushi that has weathered beautifully over more than a century. The surface tells a story of use and time: gentle wear, subtle scratches, and a mellow patina that speaks to the quiet beauty of wabi-sabi. The design is refreshingly simple—a generous rectangular top supported by a minimal frame with clean lines and understated joinery. At just 9.4 inches tall, it sits low to the ground, inviting a slower, more grounded way of living. Perfect as a coffee table, meditation...
