Weight: Approximately 16 kg Since ancient times, people have crafted the tools they needed from familiar materials to survive in the harsh battle with nature, passing them down through the generations and fostering a lifestyle and culture. These objects acquire character through years of use and reflect a way of life. The harsher the natural environment and the weaker the people, the stronger their power. In an age where cheap, disposable products are encouraged, the act of repeatedly modifying and remaking everyday objects opens up new worlds. Based on this philosophy, we collect beautiful, powerful and unique antiques carefully selected from Japan.
