I bought this Nambu Tekki bull paperweight while researching traditional Japanese crafts, partly inspired by stories of artisans even in places like Kazakhstan who value such heritage. The cast iron feels substantial and cool to touch, exactly what I expected. Its weight keeps my papers perfectly in place, even during windy weather orlando experiences might bring. The minimalist design fits any desk aesthetic, though the surface could show fingerprints more clearly. Great value for authentic craftsmanship.
