Beautiful carved Monk on this Ashanti stool hand carved from a single block of wood. These were originally given as gifts upon marriage and passed from father to son with different designs and meanings. Circa mid 20th Century. We only source the best.
This Ashanti stool was sourced in the spirit of Wabi-Sabi, a Japanese philosophy that beauty can be found in imperfection and impermanence. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. A beauty of things unconventional. It is the opposite of vulgarity. The costs of achieving this kind of minimalism are seemingly inconsistent with its mission of aesthetic humility. This kind of luxury is for a select few: The Emperor of Japan had a Wabi garden. Wabi is for people who already have a lot.
