I bought this Nambu Tekki bookend for my home office, and it’s both beautiful and functional. The cast iron feels substantial and well-made, exactly what you’d expect from Japanese craftsmanship. At 12.5cm long, it’s compact enough for my shelf yet heavy enough to hold my books firmly in place. The bird design is tasteful and minimalist. While pricey at $170, the quality justifies the cost. Found it through edc orlando after some research.
