About the Item

This is an old drawer storage made in Japan. It was made between the Meiji and Taisho periods (1860s-1920s) and is a piece of furniture that combines practicality and beauty. The material is cedar wood, and the color has changed to a deep shade with age. The surface has a unique flavor that reminds us of the accumulation of time, and the grain of the wood has a rich expression. The iron handles are simple, yet they tighten the overall impression. The minimalist design well represents the rationality and aesthetic sense of the Japanese people of the time. All eight drawers open and close smoothly, and the finish is highly finished as a practical product. The fact that it has been used with great care for many years can be felt everywhere, and it shows that it has been carefully handled while undergoing repeated repairs. It has now been cleaned and is in a clean and safe condition. This piece of furniture has a quiet presence that blends in with the space, yet has a definite character. It is a piece that embodies the spirit of simplicity, powerful beauty, and "wabi-sabi. Weight: approx. 20 kg _______________________________________ Our Philosophy Objects always tell the truth. All I can do is just to face with them sincerely and give them deep affection as much as I can. There is no boundary of nationalities and of eras in beauty. But I think now is the time we choose 'Japanese style' and it will be the best way to remind us of what we are losing today and to question us about an essence of beauty again. I hope that you can touch the memories which the objects here have, feel and think of something invisible but exists undoubtedly.
