George Nakashima
Wall Mirror
Material: American Black Walnut
A wall mirror by George Nakashima – this particular mirror is crafted from American Black Walnut. Reminiscent of traditional Japanese architectural elements and structures, the mirror’s frame showcases Nakashima’s signature visible joinery on either side of the mirror where the bottom horizontal plane meets the verticals.
George Nakashima was born in Spokane, Washington in 1905 to Japanese parents who had immigrated to the United States. Educated and trained as an architect at the University of Washington, Nakashima received his Master’s degree in Architecture from M.I.T. in 1930. After working briefly as an architect in the United States he left for Paris seeking the creative energies of one of the great urban centers of the day. From there he traveled extensively, ending up at the home of his grandmother, living on a farm on the outskirts of Tokyo.
