The Hippopotamus Paperweight is a solid cast iron paperweight in the shape of a hippopotamus. It is manufactured by Sumitani Saburo Shoten, a traditional manufacturer from the metal city of Takaoka in Toyama Prefecture, which has been producing everyday metal objects since 1939.
The paperweight is made of cast iron, a material prized for its robustness, durability, and characteristic dark surface. Its solid weight reliably holds loose papers in place, while the minimalist hippopotamus shape gives the object a calm, sculptural presence.
Thus, the Hippopotamus Paperweight is not only a practical desk object but also a small design piece with a humorous character.
