Each element—worn, uneven, time-marked—retains its past while taking on new meaning within Mitani’s composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe saw “Y” as a metaphor for connection, a letter that splits and meets again, like branches or pathways crossing. Through the use of found objects, Mitani gives physical shape to that idea, suggesting that even in anonymity there is beauty, and in the ordinary, a kind of permanence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Y' was curated by Stevenson Aung\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigner\/Maker \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaker: \u003c\/b\u003eRyuji Mitani\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesigner: \u003c\/b\u003eRyuji Mitani\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions:  \u003c\/b\u003e8.5\" (w) x 1.3\" (l) x 8.5\" (h) or 216mm (w) x 32mm (l) x 216mm (h)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan\u003e13.0 oz or 369 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/b\u003eAntique Glass Bottle, Wood, Paint\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandcrafted in Matsumoto, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear of creation: 1998\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSigned by Ryuji Mitani\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom made frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures an empty glass bottle and a Y-shaped wood sculpture\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-of-a-kind hand-painted piece with found objects\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ryuji Mitani","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49168872898806,"sku":"RM-428 (6819)","price":3200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/5843\/files\/RyujiMitani__Y_1998__Featured.jpg?v=1759962818","url":"https:\/\/nalatanalatasavings.com\/products\/y-1998-assemblage","provider":"Nalata Nalata","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
