I bought this Nambu Tekki bull paperweight for my home office, and it’s a solid, well-made piece. The cast iron feels substantial and premium, weighing about what I’d expect for its size (roughly L5.5 x D4.4 x H6.5 cm). It keeps my papers in place without being obtrusive—perfect for a clean desk setup. While 55 bucks is on the higher side for a paperweight, the craftsmanship and Japanese heritage make it feel worth it. Iren might be a strange keyword here, but if you’re into blending traditional design with modern minimalism, this is a keeper.
