This is a handmade piece by Hikari Kobo.
The main body, made from natural wood, is finished to highlight the wood's natural shape and texture.
The glossy coating gives it a deep expression and a presence that makes it a one-of-a-kind item.
The most distinctive feature of this piece is the use of a rare material that retains the marks left by a wild deer's bite.
The traces etched by nature are incorporated directly into the form, creating a unique texture that cannot be replicated by artificial means.
The combination with metal parts expresses a unique balance where the inorganic and organic merge.
Recommended as an interior decoration, display piece, or collectible.
As this is a one-of-a-kind item, no two are alike.
