Nanbu Ironware Letter Stand
These "Letter Stand" bookends, crafted by craft designer Tadahiro Baba around 1970, are made from Morioka-style Nambu ironware. Insert letters from loved ones or favorite postcards into the slots. 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 the design of 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 designs were innovative and modern, and production ceased without attracting many attention. These long-lost pieces were reissued by MEISTER in the 1990s and are still produced using the same methods today. The design, which becomes an object of art in itself, blends beautifully with modern times and conveys the quality of Nambu ironware through its design. Source: https://www.truss.jp/
