About the Item

A Japanese Taisho period hinoki cypress wood cabinet from the early 20th century converted into an open bookshelf with wavy curving shelf, sliding doors and drawers. Created in Japan during the Taisho period which spanned from 1912 to 1926, this bookshelf is made of hinoki cypress wood and is accented with hand-painted fabric with calligraphy and foliage motifs.
