BookLoverSam –
I bought this Nambu Tekki owl bookend expecting a nice addition to my shelf, and it definitely delivers. The cast iron feels substantial and well-made, with a smooth matte finish. At 17cm tall, it’s perfectly sized to hold my paperbacks without overwhelming the space. While waiting for the witcher season 5 to arrive, I admired how this piece brings both function and Japanese craftsmanship to my home. Great value for money if you appreciate handmade items.
