MK_0174Description
Explore the elegance of the 19th Century Japanese Edo period with this keyaki wood Jizai hook.
Crafted from a single block, its typically rounded hook form reveals a meticulous polishing process, with a dark finish showcasing the inherent beauty of the wood grain.
Now part of Mauna Kea’s extensive collection of Jizai hooks, these functional yet artful artifacts were once used to hang pans and cooking utensils over hearth fires. Combining sturdy functionality with refined elegance, each Jizai hook reflects the craftsmanship and practical sophistication of the Edo period—one of the most culturally rich eras in Japanese history.
This treasured piece has been in the Mauna Kea's collection since 1965, when Laurance Rockefeller developed the hotel.Made/Created
