About the Item

This is an old Japanese cabinet. It originally came with a drawer, but it is an original product that was customized and converted into a cabinet with legs. It was used in the Tohoku region of Japan around the Meiji period, and the main part is made of cherry wood. The frame is thick and gives a heavy impression. The surface of the door has a simple design that is evenly arranged with vertical poles, which can also be adapted to modern spaces. It is also a good idea to put it as a sideboard and decorate it with a vase or ceramics. Wear and tear from long-term use remains, but it is finished in black using traditional Japanese paint. There is no inner shelf. I think the appearance, which has been carefully used by human hands for a long time and has changed little by little, is well balanced, harmonious, and very valuable. The aged matte black color adds the quiet beauty of wabisabi to the space. Weight: 34.5kg
