Nanbu Ironware Friendship Bookends
These "MASK" (set of two) bookends, crafted by craft designer Tadahiro Baba around 1970, are made from Morioka-Nambu ironware. Tadahiro Baba is a craft designer who has dedicated himself to promoting design and revitalizing local industries, including serving as chairman of the Japan Crafts Association. He has long been involved in designing Nambu ironware, a traditional craft of Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture. Many of these designs were created in the 1970s. At a time when traditional iron kettles were the norm, these innovative and modern pieces were discontinued without attracting many attention. These long-lost pieces were reissued by MEISTER in the 1990s and are still produced using the same methods as they were back then. Their design, which makes them perfect décor in its own right, blends beautifully with modern times and conveys the quality of Nambu ironware through its design. Source: https://www.truss.jp/
