I bought this Nambu Tekki paperweight to keep my desk organized, and it’s been perfect. The cast iron feels substantial and well-made, with a smooth matte finish. At 6x6x2.2cm, it’s compact but heavy enough to hold down papers. I was worried about the price, but the craftsmanship justifies the cost. It sits nicely next to my avatar fire and ash figurine. Great quality, though slightly overpriced.
