Nambu Cast Iron Bookends Rikucho Ogasawara Tsuno Horn Japanese Traditional Craft
Check the listing for details.
USD 50.00
Beautifully stylish, these cast iron Tsuno (horn) bookends were designed by Japanese caster Rikucho Ogasawara. His initial R is on each piece. One horn has a more defined texture and heavier weight, maybe an intentional yin yang by the artist. The shape is also reminiscent of the famous Japanese wave painting "The Great Wave off Kanagawa". Over 3 pounds each, they can serve as bookends, door stops or objects d'art. Cast at the historic Ogasawara Foundry known for their Nambu Ironware.
