This is a ladder back chair from the PROVINCIAL series by Hida Sangyo Kitsutsuki.
The "Provincial Series" is a collection of items that bring back to life the original style of simple, timeless living, its rustic richness and eternal nostalgia, one by one, using Japanese techniques. To give the pieces a well-worn appearance, they are given a special antique coating, which takes special effort to create a well-worn look. These items have the ease of use honed by the simple daily lives of country dwellers, the robust construction that makes them easy to repair by appropriately using various types of wood, the antique style that draws on designs from 17th century English folklore, and the careful finish that makes them more endearing the more they are used. Because these are handmade products, the condition of the antique finish, such as scratches and wear, will vary from item to item.
The "Standard Collection" is suited to modern Japanese lifestyles and is useful in a variety of situations. It is a collection of simple designs that focuses on the little moments of life and suits any lifestyle.
