Wooden Kyouksu (Armrest for Tatami Seating) | Japanese Vintage
Online Exclusive
This is a traditional Japanese "Kyouksu," an armrest designed for comfort while sitting on tatami mats. It allows the user to rest their arm while leaning to one side, reducing fatigue during long periods of seated relaxation.
Crafted from solid dark wood, the piece features a rich, scorched-wood finish that highlights the natural grain. A charming detail is the heart-shaped cutouts (known as "Inome" in Japanese tradition) on the legs, blending sturdiness with elegant craftsmanship. Whether used for its original purpose or as a unique decorative accent on a floor seating area, this antique brings a calm and sophisticated Zen atmosphere to any interior.
