An authentic Japanese vintage wooden stool from the 1950s, handcrafted from solid Sugi wood and acquired directly from an official Japanese auction.

This beautiful round stool embodies the quiet elegance of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Made from aged Sugi, one of Japan’s most treasured native woods, the piece displays a warm natural grain, rich aged patina, and the organic imperfections that define true wabi-sabi beauty.

Each leg has been individually shaped by hand, showing subtle variation in form and angle. These small irregularities are not flaws, but evidence of traditional hand craftsmanship and decades of natural aging.

The softened edges, visible grain movement, and honest surface wear create a sculptural presence that works beautifully in both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Whether used as functional seating, a tea ceremony stool, bonsai display stand, meditation seat, or decorative accent, this piece brings warmth, history, and authentic Japanese character to any space.

This is an authentic vintage item and not a reproduction.
