About the Item
This is an old Japanese cabinet.
It is estimated that it was around the Meiji period, and the main parts are all made of zelkova. It is speculated that everything made of zelkova was used by wealthy families because it was a very high-class material, which is rare.
The back is decorated with the rim, and you can feel the craftsmanship's commitment, and you can see that it was made with attention to the smallest details.
I think it's okay to place it so that you can see the back and use it like a counter.
Of course, it is also a good idea to put it as a sideboard and decorate it with a vase or ceramics.
Due to wear due to long-term use, the original black color naturally peels off and changes to a natural gradient that cannot be created with paint.
Because it uses zelkova luxuriously, it weighs 95.8kg, which is very heavy. It has a heavy and luxurious appearance.
The inner shelf cannot be removed.
The appearance, which has been carefully used by human hands for a long time and has changed little by little, is balanced and harmonious, and I think it is very valuable.

This is a historically significant Japanese Tansu cabinet, crafted from cedar wood during the Meiji period (1860s–1900s).
