About the Item
This is a very old box made in Japan.

The design is ultimately simple and lean.
It is characterized by Japanese simplicity and ruggedness.
The tasteful black color is impressive.

The entire box has been rinsed and disinfected.
The interior of the box has also been kept clean.
It is in excellent condition for furniture of this period.

This box evokes the spirit of wabi-sabi, the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection and impermanence.
Modest, humble and unconventional, beauty is the opposite of vulgarity.
A unique and very rare object.
Since ancient times, people have created and inherited necessary tools from familiar materials to survive in the severe struggle against nature, and have nurtured a lifestyle culture.
Through long use, they accumulate flavor and reflect a way of life.
In today's world, where cheap and disposable products are encouraged, the act of repeatedly modifying and re-creating the things around us opens up a new world.
With this philosophy in mind, we have carefully selected beautiful, powerful, and unique Japanese antiques.
