This is a wooden (zelkova) katakuchi konebachi.
It is a solid, gouged-out kneading bowl from the early Showa period, and was actually used at a soba noodle restaurant. It has the texture of being used for many years and the unevenness of the process of splitting and piercing by hand. It is rare to have a one-sided mouth. It is thick, heavy and has an overwhelming presence when displayed.

It is a perfect match for pin vintage and antiques.
This chair has a uniquely Japanese design that you won't find overseas.
Would you like to have it in your room?

We also keep our prices reasonable because we want many people to know how good antiques are. See less
