Crafted from solid wood with a slatted top, rounded rail sides, and cloud-shaped cutouts on each panel, it showcases refined craftsmanship and traditional mortise and tenon joinery. The interior features a removable metal tray that once held charcoal. One slat has been thoughtfully replaced with a piece of bamboo, adding a subtle, wabi-sabi charm. The wood has developed a warm, natural patina with visible wear that speaks to its history and authenticity. While originally functional, this piece lends itself beautifully to modern reinterpretation. Add a round or square glass top to create a striking side table. Use it as a plant stand, a pedestal for sculpture, or a conversation-starting decorative accent. Its open interior can even serve as storage. A soulful and versatile piece for anyone who appreciates traditional Japanese design and the beauty of timeworn wood.
