About the Item

This table is made from a mortar, a material that has been used in Japan since ancient times. It has a heavy feel and an impressive appearance, with the vibrant wood grain shining through its surface. Its unique, asymmetrical form, which is modeled after a natural stump rather than a precise shape, makes it a one-of-a-kind table. It is large enough to be used as a side table, and exudes a strong presence while exuding a Japanese atmosphere of wabi-sabi. It is sure to add a touch of elegance to your life. It is also large enough to be used as a coffee table for 2-3 people. Mortar / A container used when pounding grains, rice cakes, etc. with a pestle. Items are placed inside and pounded. Weight: 45 kg.
